I just got diagnosed with a right irreducible inguinal hernia with omentum inside and everyone's suggesting open surgery but I'm wondering why laparoscopy isn't an option here what are the pros and cons for my case

Irreducible hernias with omentum are usually operated by open method due to risk of complications; laparoscopy is less preferred if there's obstruction or dense adhesions.

I have a perianal abscess and can't afford surgery right now. Is there any medication or home treatment that can help manage it? What are my options if I can only do medical treatment for now?

A small perianal abscess may resolve with antibiotics, but surgery is usually needed to prevent recurrence. Sitz baths and painkillers help symptomatically.
