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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI have two small fibroadenomas in my left breast, 1 cm and 1.5 cm in size, and my doctor said surgery is the only option. I'm only 23 and don't want surgery are there any medicines, yoga, or ayurvedic remedies that can treat this? Also, is there any chance this could be cancer?
surgery is often recommended for fibroadenomas, especially those that are growing rapidly or are larger than 2 cm, it's not always the only option. Your doctor might recommend watchful waiting, where you undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the fibroadenomas. There are also non-surgical options like cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy. In addition, there's no evidence that yoga or ayurvedic remedies can effectively treat fibroadenomas, and these approaches shouldn't be seen as a replacement for medical care. Regarding your concern about cancer, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, and the risk of breast cancer is not significantly increased by having them. However, it's always best to follow up with your doctor and discuss your concerns and preferences

I tested positive for H pylori with some duodenal erosions and also have an inguinal scrotal hernia surgery coming up can I still go ahead with the surgery or do I need to treat the infection first
It's generally recommended to treat the H. pylori infection before undergoing hernia surgery. The presence of duodenal erosions, along with H. pylori, can potentially impact the healing process after surgery and increase the risk of complications. However, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery immediately or delay it for treatment should be made in consultation with your doctor, considering the specific circumstances of your case.

My 2-month-old baby has been diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia measuring 17x9.3 mm, with omental and bowel herniation going into the scrotal sac. The ultrasound shows maintained vascularity and minimal free fluid. Is open surgery under local anesthesia safe for such a young baby? I'm really worried about the risks at this age.
Open inguinal hernia repair, even under local anesthesia, is generally considered safe for a 2-month-old baby, especially when ultrasound findings indicate maintained vascularity and minimal fluid. However, the decision to proceed with surgery, including the type of anesthesia, should be made by a qualified pediatric surgeon in consultation with the parents, considering the baby's overall health, the severity of the hernia, and the surgeon's experience
