Question 1

My son was born with extra fingers on both hands and one leg. He's now 18 months old and I recently saw a pediatric surgeon about it. Wanted to ask what's the best age to remove the extra fingers? The doctor recommended full-body anesthesia is that necessary or can they just numb the area? Also, roughly how much does this surgery cost and how long is the recovery? Any recommendations for a good doctor in MP?

Accepted Answer

reconstruction is advised sx opinion is advised.

Question 2

I'm dealing with something really weird for the first time. I've got an abscess on my buttcrack, and it's been almost a week now, but it hasn't healed yet. I've been trying antibiotics and warmcold presses, but I still don't see the head coming up. I'm a bit unsure about whom I should visit for this. I think draining it out would be best, but shouldn't there be a head before that can happen? What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

Given the persistence of the abscess near your butt-crack despite antibiotics and home remedies, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon,

Question 3

My wife has several gallbladder stones around 56 mm in size and the doctors are recommending immediate surgery. I'm really worried and wondering if there are any other options like medications or natural remedies that could help instead of going straight for surgery. Is it possible to dissolve or pass these stones without an operation?

Accepted Answer

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through

My ultrasound showed a fatty liver and multiple echogenic masses in the gallbladder. Should I get my gallbladder removed or is there another way to manage this? I'm worried about surgery but also don't want to risk complications if it's necessary.
