My baby is one month old and has an inguinal hernia. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried is this a minor procedure and is it safe for such a young baby

Surgery is usually necessary to prevent complications like the hernia getting trapped (incarceration) or the blood supply being cut off (strangulation). In this process, the hernia sac is tied off to stop the hernia from protruding further. After surgery, pain management and close monitoring for any issues are crucial

View allI 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.

My dad has been dealing with an anal fistula for almost two months now and I'm really worried about him. Can you give me an idea of how much the surgery might cost? We're trying to plan things out but I'm not sure what to expect financially.
Anal fistula surgery costs ₹30,000–₹80,000 depending on procedure type and hospital. Laser options may be costlier but offer faster recovery.
