I've been diagnosed with gallbladder stones a month ago - they're 10mm, 11mm, and 13mm in size. For the past 3 months I've had constant fever and chills, extreme weakness that makes it hard to even go outside, bad bloating and indigestion, plus my eyes and face look yellowish. Is gallbladder surgery my best option at this point?

Hormone therapy can feminize features; oral pills or injections both work—consult an endocrinologist or gender clinic specialist for safe and guided treatment.

View allMy mom is 66 years old and has been diagnosed with umbilical hernia and incisional hernia. She's 5'2¬ù and weighs around 83 kg. She's currently on thyroid meds and has had past surgeries like C-section, thyroid, liver abscess, varicose veins, and knee surgery. We saw two doctors one suggested hernia repair with abdominoplasty, while the other recommended open hernia repair using mesh and advised weight loss before surgery since she's overweight. I'm confused about which approach is better for her given her medical history and weight. What would you recommend for her case?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm a bit worried is surgery really the only option? I've heard ayurvedic treatments can cure it permanently. What do you think?
While surgery is often recommended for pilonidal sinus, it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments like laser hair removal, phenol application, and endoscopic ablation can also be effective, especially when detected early. Ayurvedic treatments, including Kshara Sutra, are also explored as alternatives, offering natural healing with potentially less pain and quicker recovery than surgery

Yes, it is generally okay to have surgery during your period, including a gallbladder surgery. Your period does not affect the surgical outcome or need to be rescheduled. While it may be a little more uncomfortable, surgeons are accustomed to dealing with blood during surgery, and it's important to inform the medical staff so they can provide you with appropriate sanitary products and assistance
