My child's doctor recommended hydrocele surgery and I'm looking for the best pediatric surgeons in Mumbai who specialize in this. Is surgery the only option or can hydrocele be treated without an operation? I'm a bit worried and want to understand more about the treatment choices.

View allI've had this pricking pain near my belly button for about 6 months now, and it gets worse when I cough. My scan showed an umbilical hernia - should I be worried? Do I need surgery for this or are there medicines that can help? Really confused about what treatment would be best for my case.
An umbilical hernia, while often not serious, can cause discomfort and may require surgery, depending on the severity and your individual circumstances. While medications cannot cure a hernia, they can help manage pain. Your doctor can best assess your situation and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your case

I found out I was HIV positive 10 years ago from a blood transfusion and have been on ART since then with an undetectable viral load. Now I've been diagnosed with a left hernia that's causing really bad pain. How do I go about getting surgery for this? Are there any special precautions I should take because of my HIV status?
You can safely undergo hernia surgery with HIV if your viral load is undetectable.Inform your surgeon and anesthetist so they can take standard precautions.Healing is generally good with ART control.
