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.

View allI'm 56 and have had an inguinal hernia on my right lower abdomen for 2 years now. I really want to avoid surgery can ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments help? I live in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh could you suggest the best doctor for this?
While Ayurveda and homeopathy may offer symptom relief, they generally don't cure hernias and may not be a long-term solution for inguinal hernias. Hernias typically require surgery for a permanent fix.

I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?
Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.
