I've got an inguinal hernia that I've noticed tends to disappear when I push it back. Thankfully, I haven't had any pain from it yet. But I'm kind of worried because I've got a medical exam lined up in the next 20 days. Is there anything I can do to get it sorted out quickly?

I've had this lump in my left chest for around 10 years now. It's about 5 inches below my nipple and kind of towards the center. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Chest x-ray pa view,biopsy,FNAC of the lump is advised to the patient and a surgery opinion is also advised.

I'm really worried because I had surgery about a year ago for a pilonidal sinus, and now the wound just won't heal. It's been at least 90 days since it stopped showing any signs of improvement. Can you give me some advice or suggestions on what to do?
