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 allFound a 2.9mm gallstone during a scan but I have zero symptoms do I really need surgery right away? Just wondering if it can wait or if there are other options since it's not causing any issues
A 2.9mm gallstone that's asymptomatic doesn't typically require immediate surgery. Small gallstones often pass without causing problems, and surgery is usually recommended when symptoms develop or there's a high risk of complications. You can discuss your options with your doctor, who may recommend monitoring the stone's size and location with follow-up scans

I've had a lipoma near my neck and shoulder for about 25 years. It doesn't usually hurt but gets uncomfortable during workouts, especially shoulder exercises like barbell lifts I feel mild pain and tightness when my muscles tense up. Is there a way to treat it without surgery, and what's the best test to check its size?
For your long-standing lipoma that causes discomfort during workouts, non-surgical treatments like liposuction or steroid injections might be considered. To assess its size, an ultrasound is generally the preferred method. If you experience pain or rapid growth, a biopsy might be recommended.
