I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor mentioned both laser surgery and open wide surgery as options. I'm really confused about which one to choose is laser surgery actually better? How safe is it compared to open surgery, and what are the pros and cons of each? I'm worried about recovery time and complications.

View allI have an inguinal hernia on my left side but it doesn't hurt should I still consider surgery or wait until it starts causing pain? What are the risks if I delay treatment?
While a lack of pain doesn't necessarily mean immediate surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's wise to consult with a doctor about your options. Waiting for symptoms like pain to develop before considering surgery is generally safe for men, but can lead to complications if the hernia grows or becomes incarcerated. In women, watchful waiting is not recommended due to a higher risk of femoral hernias.
