My scan report shows mild probe tenderness in the right iliac fossa and a mildly dilated appendix at 5mm with a few enlarged lymph nodes in the RIF. It says no perforation but mentions subacute appendicitis. No kidney stones or hydronephrosis were found. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with meds?

Subacute appendicitis with probe tenderness can sometimes be managed with antibiotics, but recurrence risk makes surgery advisable.

View allI've had three hernia surgeries already and now I feel like it's coming back again. How do I push it back safely? I'm really confused and worried about what to do next.
It's understandable that you're concerned about a potential hernia recurrence after multiple surgeries. Do not attempt to push it back on your own. This could be dangerous and potentially cause serious complications. You should seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options

My wife has been diagnosed with fibroadenoma in her right breast just above the ovary. The doctor suggested surgery, but I'm a bit unsure and would like another opinion. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we should consider? What are the risks if we delay or avoid surgery?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

Found a 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in my gallbladder neck are there any ways to treat it without getting surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?
A 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in the gallbladder neck can cause pain and complications like cholecystitis. Unfortunately, non-surgical options like medications (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) are often ineffective for stones this size or location. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is the most definitive and safe treatment.
