My 3-month-old baby has had an umbilical hernia for the past month. The belly button swelling sometimes goes back in but other times stays out, though there's no pain. The ultrasound didn't show any blockages, but some doctors recommend surgery while others say to wait at least 2 years. What should I do?

View allI've had a pilonidal sinus for over a year now and it's really bothering me whenever I sit too long at work or in the car, the pain kicks in and the area swells up. Are there any treatment options for this that don't involve surgery?

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm a bit worried is surgery really the only option? I've heard ayurvedic treatments can cure it permanently. What do you think?
While surgery is often recommended for pilonidal sinus, it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments like laser hair removal, phenol application, and endoscopic ablation can also be effective, especially when detected early. Ayurvedic treatments, including Kshara Sutra, are also explored as alternatives, offering natural healing with potentially less pain and quicker recovery than surgery

Will surgery alone cure this condition or do I need other treatments too How serious is this and what else should I do to recover fully
If a DJ stent is retained since 2011, surgery is usually required to remove it; endoscopic procedures like ureteroscopy may be a less invasive option.
