I've had a pilonidal sinus for about a week now and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hesitant about going under the knife. Are there any other treatment options that could help me avoid surgery? I'm worried about recovery time and complications

I have a 7mm gallstone and was wondering if it can be treated with medicine or if surgery is needed. I had a normal delivery in December 2016 and am currently breastfeeding my baby if I need surgery, will I still be able to feed my baby?
A 7mm gallbladder stone may require surgical removal, especially if it's causing pain or complications. If you need surgery, it's essential to discuss with your doctor whether its safe to breastfeed post-surgery.
