I've got a small umbilical hernia with no symptoms right now, but the surgeon recommended surgery. I need to delay it for about 23 months due to family reasons. What precautions should I take to manage it safely until then?

View allI had fissure surgery 5 years ago and now there's a perianal abscess near my anus. The scan shows a small thick-walled abscess about 15x12mm at the 6 o'clock position, 13mm deep to the anal verge. No mass or deep issues in the rectum were found. Should I be worried about this abscess coming back after treatment? What are my options to prevent it from recurring?
Yes, there's a possibility that your perianal abscess could recur, especially if an anal fistula is present. Treatment usually involves incision and drainage, and sometimes surgery to address a fistula if present. Preventing recurrence involves good hygiene, preventing constipation, and potentially surgical intervention for fistula management

I'm 30, unmarried, and was diagnosed with a groin hernia 9 months ago. Right now, there's no pain, just a bulge. I have a few concerns first, is open surgery or laparoscopic better for this? Second, if I don't get surgery, could it affect my sex life? And if I do get surgery, does it matter if it's before or after marriage will it impact my sexual function? Also, can I still work out, run, and jump if I don't get surgery? And after surgery, how soon can I get back to gym and sports?
Hernotomy and repair of hernia wall is advised at apollo hospital.
