I've been dealing with a fistula for two years now and had surgery, but the abscess keeps coming back every 6 months for the past 15 months. What medication can help heal the track so it doesn't return? Also, what exactly is an abscess and how does it form?

An untreated inguinal hernia can enlarge, causing increased pain and discomfort. It could also become incarcerated (stuck) or strangulated (blood flow cut off), leading to severe pain, vomiting, and even a bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery

My dad has several gallstones and needs gallbladder surgery. Can you recommend the best hospital or clinic in Kolkata for gallbladder microsurgery? I'm really concerned about finding a good place for his operation.
For gallbladder microsurgery in Kolkata, Medica Superspecialty Hospital and Manipal Hospitals - Mukundapur are highly regarded. Justdial recommends several doctors specializing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal via keyhole surgery). Dr. Purnendu Roy of Genesis Hospital and Dr. Susenjit Prasad Mahato are also highly recommended for their expertise in this area.

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
