My 3-month-old daughter was diagnosed with anterior displaced anus or vulvar anus. One pediatric surgeon recommended waiting until she's 1 year old for surgery, but another doctor said it should be done now at 3 months. I'm really confused when is the best time to get the surgery done for her condition?

I'm about to have open surgery for an inguinal scrotal hernia and I'm really worried about the pain during the operation will it be really bad? Also how long does this type of surgery usually take?

laparoscopic sx is advised.

I'm really worried because my belly button is sore and there's this clear, thin discharge coming out of it that smells really bad. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol for any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I have a perineal abscess and the pain is really bad near it, is there any way to treat it without surgery

A perineal abscess often requires drainage to relieve pain and prevent worsening infection. In some early or mild cases, antibiotics and warm sitz baths may help temporarily, but surgery (incision and drainage) is usually the definitive treatment. Please consult a doctor promptly to avoid complications.
