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 mom's ultrasound report shows a small appendicolith. Can this be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option? I'm a bit worried and would like to understand what's best for her
A small appendicolith, a calcified deposit in the appendix, can be managed with either medication or surgery, depending on the presence of symptoms and other factors. While surgery (appendectomy) is often recommended, especially if appendicitis develops, some cases may be managed with antibiotics and pain relief, particularly if the appendicolith is small and the patient is otherwise healthy.
