my mom has a lipoma on the back of her neck and it's causing her discomfort is there any way to treat it at home or will she need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Lipomas are benign tumors made of fat and often don't require treatment unless they cause pain or discomfort. If your mom's lipoma is causing her discomfort, it's best to consult a doctor, who may recommend surgical removal or liposuction. Home remedies are generally not effective for lipomas.

My sister has gallstones around 8.5mm in size and her gallbladder is really swollen and stretched out. Should she get surgery or is there another way to treat this?
Given the size of the gallstones and the swollen, stretched gallbladder, surgery (cholecystectomy) is usually the best and most definitive treatment. Delaying it can lead to complications like infection or pancreatitis. Medical management is limited and often ineffective in such cases. Please consult a surgeon for timely evaluation.

I've had mild pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a month now and my doctor recommended surgery for appendicitis. Can homeopathy actually cure this or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other treatments that might work
Homeopathy is not a proven treatment for appendicitis. Persistent mild pain in the right abdomen should be taken seriously
