I've been having pus drainage from a cyst near my tailbone every few months for about 8 months now. There's no pain or bad smell, but I can feel a small lump there during activities like yoga. Should I consider getting drainage treatment or is surgery necessary?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given the persistent pus drainage and lump near the tailbone, you should consider seeking medical attention, as it likely indicates a pilonidal cyst or sinus. While drainage treatment might be an option for some cases, it's crucial to have a diagnosis and discuss all treatment options, including surgery, with a doctor.

View allI've been having really bad stomach pain and my doctor said I might need gallbladder surgery. Can you tell me how much it usually costs? I'm worried about the expenses but also want to know if it's urgent.

Is it possible to just remove gallstones without taking out the whole gallbladder? Some doctors recommend surgery but say the gallbladder needs to be removed entirely. I'd prefer finding a surgeon who can take out only the stones is that an option?
yes advised.

My father was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia at Apollo Hospital Nellore. The laparoscopic surgeon recommended surgery, saying it can't be cured with medicines. His abdomen has been slightly bigger for the past year with swelling at the umbilical area. Is surgery really the only option or can it be treated with tablets
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
