How much cost of spelenic cyst surgery
Male | 29
Usually, the price of surgery for a splenic cyst will vary from one hospital to another and may be several thousand dollars. Typical symptoms could be pain in the abdomen, unpleasant sensations, or a bloated feeling of fullness. Apart from trauma, other causes of such conditions also exist as the underlying conditions might be responsible. Therapy could be one of the two, either watching the development or surgery when it's time. Talking to a doctor is an absolute must to get detailed instructions that suit your case, as well as to fully discuss your particular situation.

bitten by dog , Please help me doctor Fast
Male | 25
When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

Sir, my name is saju, I am facing a hernia problem, Bilateral inguinal hernia with fact as content (R>L). Cough impulse noted. No definite extension to scrotum.
Male | 54
Hello Saju, Bilateral groin hernias may develop when tissue penetrates a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, causing pain, especially when coughing or lifting things. What you need to know is that while these hernias can cause problems, they usually can be controlled. Surgery is a common and effective method, which is intended to repair the defect and alleviate the symptoms. My advice is that you should go to a healthcare provider and have a conversation with them to know your condition and the remedies available. Let me remind you that expert advice is the best way to get well soon and continue your normal activities.

I've been having this recurring pain, swelling and eventual discharge in my tailbone area over the past 5 months now. It comes and goes from time to time but whenever the swelling comes, I apply Vaseline to the area and that helps to drain the swelling. I've come to learn that this might be a pilonodial sinus and I'm very concerned about the potential treatment because I've heard that's painful too. At my stage what is the most likely treatment?
Male | 22
It sounds like you may indeed be experiencing a pilonidal sinus, which can cause discomfort, swelling, and discharge in the tailbone area. This condition often arises from hair follicles becoming infected, leading to the formation of a cyst. Treatment options vary; initial management may involve proper hygiene and draining the area, but surgical intervention might be needed if symptoms persist. While surgery may sound daunting, it often resolves the issue effectively. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan.

DOG BITEN WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD
Male | 40
It's understandable to have concerns about past incidents involving animal encounters. If you experienced a bite, be aware of potential symptoms such as swelling, redness, or pain in the affected area. Infections could occur, so monitoring for signs like increased warmth or pus is advisable. Causes may include unexpected fright or the dog feeling threatened. It's essential to keep the wound clean and to consider a physician for an assessment and possible preventive measures like vaccinations.

Male | 80
It looks like your grandpa’s Foley catheter might have a problem. The balloon could be causing the bleeding because it’s coming out. There’s no pain, so that’s good. We’ll watch the bleeding for now. Keep the area clean and dry. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or you have other worries, call your health care provider right away for advice.

I was taking drugs by injection unfortunately it was miss by vains I got pain and swelling in that place.what should I do
Male | 26
Pain and swelling after a misplaced injection are common, similar to how your knee swells after an injury. The needle may have injured a nerve or tissue, causing the discomfort. You can apply a cold pack to reduce swelling and take a painkiller for relief. If the pain and swelling persist or worsen, see a doctor.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.
Male | 20
I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

I had a gallbladder removal surgery and my scrotum is swollen and filled with fluid after that. Is it normal or I need to take some treatment ?
Male | 33
It’s common to feel concerned if your scrotum enlarges after gallbladder surgery. This condition, known as a hydrocele, occurs when fluid accumulates around the testicle. It happens because your body needs time to absorb the fluids used during the surgery. Fortunately, most hydroceles resolve on their own within a few weeks. However, if the condition persists or causes discomfort, consult your doctor. They can recommend treatments such as draining the fluid or surgery if necessary and will guide you to the best option.

Ma’am My ultrasound repot not showing anything . Still suffering from left side pain . Kindly suggest me
Male | 54
It’s completely understandable to feel concerned about persistent pain. Several factors could contribute to discomfort on the left side, including muscle strain, digestive issues, or sometimes even referred pain from other areas. While your ultrasound didn’t reveal anything significant, it’s crucial to continue monitoring your symptoms. I recommend keeping a daily log of any additional signs you experience. It might be beneficial to consult a surgeon for further evaluation, especially if the pain persists or worsens.

Male | 27
Slight white discharge following fistula surgery is a common phenomenon. This may be due to the healing of the wound. Keep the area clean and dry. Change your dressing regularly as advised by your doctor. It is wise to inform your doctor at once if the discharge develops a foul smell or green color, or if you have a fever.
