My nephew was just diagnosed with Harnia based on his sonography report. I'm really worried does this condition usually require surgery or are there other treatment options we should consider first?

View allMy 4-month-old son was born with imperforate anus and had a colostomy done. He weighs 6 kg now when is the right time for his next major surgery? Also, will he be able to potty train normally in the future?
The ideal timing for the next major surgery (reconstructive surgery) depends on individual factors and the severity of the malformation. While 3-6 months is a typical timeframe after a colostomy, the child's weight, overall health, and the surgeon's assessment are key considerations. Nemours KidsHealth

I have two small fibroadenomas in my left breast, 1 cm and 1.5 cm in size, and my doctor said surgery is the only option. I'm only 23 and don't want surgery are there any medicines, yoga, or ayurvedic remedies that can treat this? Also, is there any chance this could be cancer?
surgery is often recommended for fibroadenomas, especially those that are growing rapidly or are larger than 2 cm, it's not always the only option. Your doctor might recommend watchful waiting, where you undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the fibroadenomas. There are also non-surgical options like cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy. In addition, there's no evidence that yoga or ayurvedic remedies can effectively treat fibroadenomas, and these approaches shouldn't be seen as a replacement for medical care. Regarding your concern about cancer, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, and the risk of breast cancer is not significantly increased by having them. However, it's always best to follow up with your doctor and discuss your concerns and preferences

I'm feeling really worried because I have this sore chest pain, and it feels like there's a small lump that's growing. Whenever I move, it seems like the lump is attached and it's really painful. It's just between my breasts. Could you tell me what this might be?
