My ultrasound showed multiple 8mm gallstones and I've been dealing with constipation and belching. Do I need surgery for this? Also, if I don't get the surgery now, could it cause issues later if I get pregnant?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, given your symptoms and the size of your gallstones (8mm), surgery may be recommended. Gallstones larger than 8mm can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to complications like bile duct obstruction. Delaying surgery could increase the risk of these complications, including potential problems during pregnancy.

View allI've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

Had inguinal hernia surgery 11 days ago and got my sutures removed yesterday is it safe to ride a self-start bike without kickstarting or should I wait longer
It’s best to avoid riding for at least 2–3 weeks post-hernia surgery to prevent strain and ensure proper healing.
