I noticed a small 6mm defect in the linea alba right above my belly button with some fat poking through but no bowel loops. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? I'm a bit worried about it getting worse
A 6mm defect in the linea alba with fat protruding but no bowel loops likely indicates a small epigastric hernia. While surgery is the standard treatment, watchful waiting may be an option for small, asymptomatic hernias. You can also try temporary solutions like wearing a hernia belt or truss, holding the area when straining, and avoiding heavy lifting. However, it's crucial to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and I'm not sure what the best treatment option is. Should I consider plastic surgery or is regular open surgery good enough? I'm a bit worried about recovery and which one would be better long-term
Pilonidal sinus is best treated with surgical options—excision with flap closure or laser.ENT-away inflammations often need tissue excision rather than simple drainage.
