My 3-year-old son has a painless dermoid cyst on his forehead near the eyebrow area with no signs of infection so far. Is surgery necessary to remove it or are there other treatment options? If surgery is needed, how long does the procedure usually take?

View allI've been really worried because I had my appendix removed almost two weeks ago and now my left side is constantly in pain and feels swollen. Is it possible I could be dealing with a hernia after the appendectomy? What steps should I take next?
It is possible to develop an incisional hernia after an appendectomy, especially if there was a weakness in the abdominal wall or if there was increased pressure in the abdomen post-surgery. The symptoms of a hernia include pain, swelling, and a bulge at the site of the surgical incision. It is important to have this evaluated by your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief.

I have a 7mm umbilical hernia and I've been going to the gym and lifting weights. Is there any way to cure this without surgery and could working out make the hernia worse
A 7mm umbilical hernia, while small, generally cannot be cured without surgery in adults. While exercise can help strengthen abdominal muscles, activities that increase pressure in the abdomen, like heavy lifting or sit-ups, can worsen the hernia. It's best to consult a doctor for advice on managing your hernia and safe exercise
