View allI have a perineal abscess and the pain is really bad near it, is there any way to treat it without surgery
A perineal abscess often requires drainage to relieve pain and prevent worsening infection. In some early or mild cases, antibiotics and warm sitz baths may help temporarily, but surgery (incision and drainage) is usually the definitive treatment. Please consult a doctor promptly to avoid complications.

I had a right side inguinal hernia mesh repair surgery 3 years ago and now I've developed a new hernia on the left side. I'm considering another mesh repair but I'm worried about hernia recurrence after mesh surgery. Does having mesh repair increase the chances of the hernia coming back compared to other types of repairs? What's the likelihood of recurrence with a second mesh surgery?
Second hernia mesh repair is commonly done and recurrence is not necessarily higher with mesh.The success rate is high when done properly.

I had inguinal hernia surgery back in December 2018 and now I'm thinking of joining the gym. What kind of precautions should I take while working out to avoid any issues?
After inguinal hernia surgery, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing. When you are ready to return to the gym, start slowly and gradually increase your intensity. Avoid exercises that put strain on the surgical site, such as abdominal crunches, sit-ups, and exercises that involve heavy lifting or high impact
