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.

View allI have an inguinal hernia on my left side but it doesn't hurt should I still consider surgery or wait until it starts causing pain? What are the risks if I delay treatment?
While a lack of pain doesn't necessarily mean immediate surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's wise to consult with a doctor about your options. Waiting for symptoms like pain to develop before considering surgery is generally safe for men, but can lead to complications if the hernia grows or becomes incarcerated. In women, watchful waiting is not recommended due to a higher risk of femoral hernias.

I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor is suggesting surgery for it. I've heard that it can keep coming back. Is there any way homeopathy could help with this problem?
While surgery is a common treatment for pilonidal sinus, homeopathic remedies like Silica, Graphites, and Thuja may help alleviate symptoms and potentially prevent recurrence; however, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment, as homeopathy is not a substitute for surgical intervention, and a combined approach may be necessary to manage the condition effectively.
