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.

12 years ago I had surgery for a pilonidal sinus, but now the problem has come back. I'm really worried is there a permanent solution for this? The recurring pain is bothering me a lot, and I don't want to keep dealing with it. What options do I have?
Recurrent pilonidal sinus often needs surgery for permanent resolution. Laser excision or cleft lift surgery offers better long-term results than traditional excision methods.
