Will delaying my fistula surgery by 10 days make it worse if it's currently 2.54 cm from the opening
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Delaying fistula surgery by 10 days when the fistula is currently 2.54 cm from the opening could potentially lead to complications, including infection, abscess formation, and a more complex fistula tract. While a short delay might not always be a significant issue, it's generally advisable to proceed with surgery as planned unless there are compelling reasons for postponement, according to a medical news article about fistula surgery recovery.

I'm 20 and have fibroadenoma with multiple small lumps in both breasts but one is bigger and needs open surgery I'm worried about scars since I'm not married yet are there any treatments that won't leave marks on my breasts
For the fibroadenoma requiring surgery, the main concern is scarring. While complete avoidance of scarring is impossible, minimally invasive techniques and careful surgical practices can minimize the visible marks. For the smaller, multiple fibroadenomas, cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy might be suitable options.

My dad has had an inguinal hernia near his groin area for the past 4 years and sometimes faces discomfort but refuses surgery. Could this lead to serious issues if left untreated? We're now considering surgery what's the best type for his condition and who are the top doctors for this in Ludhiana?
An untreated inguinal hernia can enlarge, causing increased pain and discomfort. It could also become incarcerated (stuck) or strangulated (blood flow cut off), leading to severe pain, vomiting, and even a bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery
