If a DJ stent is retained since 2011, surgery is usually required to remove it; endoscopic procedures like ureteroscopy may be a less invasive option.

View allI've been diagnosed with gallbladder stones a month ago - they're 10mm, 11mm, and 13mm in size. For the past 3 months I've had constant fever and chills, extreme weakness that makes it hard to even go outside, bad bloating and indigestion, plus my eyes and face look yellowish. Is gallbladder surgery my best option at this point?

I've been dealing with a right irreducible inguinal hernia where the pain starts in my lower abdomen and goes all the way to my right scrotum and testis. This has been going on for about 8-9 months, with episodes lasting 6-7 days every 2-3 months. My doctor recommended immediate surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other options like homeopathy or any alternative treatments that could help instead of going under the knife right away
An irreducible inguinal hernia where pain radiates down to the scrotum and testis likely indicates an incarcerated hernia. This means the hernia is trapped and cannot be pushed back into the abdomen, and the trapped tissue is causing pain and potentially compromised blood flow. This requires immediate medical attention, as a strangulated hernia (where the trapped tissue loses blood supply) can be life-threatening
