I've got this lump near my butt crack that's been giving me some trouble. Sometimes it itches, and other times it really hurts. There's even this green pus-like stuff coming out of it, which is pretty gross and uncomfortable. Can you tell me what kind of doctor I should see about this?

I've had three hernia surgeries already and now I feel like it's coming back again. How do I push it back safely? I'm really confused and worried about what to do next.
It's understandable that you're concerned about a potential hernia recurrence after multiple surgeries. Do not attempt to push it back on your own. This could be dangerous and potentially cause serious complications. You should seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options

I recently had inguinal hernia surgery about five days ago and I'm wondering how I should be taking care of myself right now. How long does this recovery process typically take? Also, is it safe for me to masturbate if I'm not experiencing any pain?
After inguinal hernia surgery, follow your surgeon's specific instructions, but generally, for 4-6 weeks, avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activities, take pain medication as prescribed, and keep the incision site clean and dry; regarding masturbation, it's generally recommended to avoid any activity that may cause discomfort, tension, or strain on the surgical site for 2-4 weeks, so wait until your surgeon clears you for such activities, usually during the follow-up appointment.
