Question 1

My mom's scan showed a 30mm gallbladder stone and the doctor said she needs surgery. What kind of surgery would they do would it be laser treatment? How exactly do they remove a stone that big? Just worried about how the procedure works and what to expect.

Accepted Answer

For a 30mm gallbladder stone, the surgery is likely a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which removes the entire gallbladder through small incisions. While laser treatment can be used to fragment stones, it's not the primary method for gallbladder stone removal in this case. The 30mm stone would be removed along with the gallbladder.

Question 2

I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Accepted Answer

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe.

No specific gap is required, but consider:

1. _Digestion time_: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion.
2. _Blood sugar levels_: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to:
    - Dizziness
    - Lightheadedness
    - Shivering

To be cautious:

1. Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing.
2. Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system.

No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

Question 3

I've got an inguinal hernia that I've noticed tends to disappear when I push it back. Thankfully, I haven't had any pain from it yet. But I'm kind of worried because I've got a medical exam lined up in the next 20 days. Is there anything I can do to get it sorted out quickly?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Is surgery really needed right away for a mild umbilical hernia strain or can it be managed with meds for now and done later? Could the strain be caused by gastric issues or something else besides bowel movements?

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
