My 9-month-old daughter has a large umbilical hernia that goes back in when she's calm but the doctor said to wait 34 months before considering surgery. I'm really worried about it will it go away on its own or is surgery usually needed?

Many umbilical hernias close by age 2–3; surgery is advised only if large, symptomatic, or persistent beyond that age.

My dad has had an inguinal hernia near his groin area for the past 4 years and sometimes faces discomfort but refuses surgery. Could this lead to serious issues if left untreated? We're now considering surgery what's the best type for his condition and who are the top doctors for this in Ludhiana?
An untreated inguinal hernia can enlarge, causing increased pain and discomfort. It could also become incarcerated (stuck) or strangulated (blood flow cut off), leading to severe pain, vomiting, and even a bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery

My granny was diagnosed with gallstones the largest one is 12mm and there are a few smaller ones too. I've heard surgery to remove the gallbladder is the only option, but I was wondering if homeopathy could help in this case? Would love to know if there are other alternatives.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
