my mother has a hernia issue which specialist should we see for this? are there any non-surgical options to treat hernia or is surgery the only solution?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a hernia, you should consult a general surgeon, as they specialize in diagnosing and treating hernias. Non-surgical options like watchful waiting or using a supportive truss may help in mild cases, but surgery is usually the definitive treatment to repair the hernia and prevent complications. Early evaluation by a surgeon is recommended.

To minimize pilonidal cyst recurrence after surgery, focusing on hair removal and maintaining proper hygiene is crucial. Laser hair removal, shaving, or other hair removal methods can help prevent ingrown hairs, a major factor in recurrence.

my wound from fistula surgery hasn't healed even after 60 days and there's still a bit of pus coming out my doctor says it's normal and will take time but I'm worried should I be on antibiotics to stop the pus
While your doctor's statement about delayed healing and pus discharge after fistula surgery being normal may be true in some cases, it's important to address your concerns. Pus drainage can be a sign of infection, and a delayed healing time could also indicate an underlying issue. It's recommended to discuss your concerns and the possibility of antibiotics with your doctor. They can assess the situation, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and guide you on the best course of action for your specific case
