My dad had fistula surgery 3 days ago and now there's some swelling when he walks. What can we do to reduce the swelling and help him recover better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To reduce swelling and aid recovery after fistula surgery, encourage your dad to apply ice packs, take prescribed pain medication, and maintain good hygiene. He should also consider using a donut pillow for comfortable sitting and gradually increase his activity level as tolerated, according to Dr. Raviram S.. It's crucial to attend follow-up appointments with his doctor for monitoring.

View allMy 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

Has anyone successfully treated urethral stricture without surgery and seen excellent results I've tried a few treatments but nothing worked well so far I really want to find a complete cure for this
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm 28 and planning to get married on March 4th but want to get circumcision done before that. How much time should I allow for recovery and when would be the best time to schedule the surgery?
As a doctor, I’d recommend scheduling circumcision at least 4–6 weeks before your wedding. This allows adequate time for healing, reduction of swelling, and resumption of normal activities, including sexual intercourse. Ideally, plan the procedure by late January to ensure full recovery by March 4th.
