Can I drink mild alcohol after inguinal hernia surgery 7 weeks?
General Physician
Answered on 15th Jan '25
After surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's generally safe to consume mild alcohol seven weeks post-operation, provided you feel well and have no complications. Alcohol can affect healing if consumed excessively, leading to dehydration or gastrointestinal issues, which may hinder recovery. If you experience any unusual symptoms like increased pain, swelling, or nausea after drinking, it's wise to stop and consult your healthcare provider. Always listen to your body and prioritize your wellness.

Hi, Can a Stem cell transplant cure HIV?
Stem cell therapy seems to have a very promising future. But trails are still on, in different parts of the world. As on today stem cell therapy is not approved by FDA for HIV. Still consult a HIV specialist. Refer this page - Hiv Counselling doctors in Mumbai, or that of any other city nearest to you.

Injury in fort in 1 month but not tetanus injection
Female | 47
If the injury happened about a month ago and you did not take a tetanus shot, which is why you are worried now, here is what you need to know: Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria entering the cuts. Tingling and difficulty breathing might be the symptoms of tetanus. If it has been more than 10 years since you received your last tetanus shot, getting one is the safest option in case of any complications. The process is simple and the results are effective.

For a year now, I've had a flattened bump on my under arm. It first started out as a blackhead, so I popped it. After that it stayed for several months. I tried to pop it still several times but it was to painful. When I finally popped it, a brown, rock solid nugget popped out of it. Now, it has flattened down but is still purple-ish, giving the impression of being bruised, and still looks as if there is something still inside. What is it?
Female | 13
Looks like a Sebaceous cyst.
These cysts have to be removed surgically as if their wall is not removed, they recur.
Surgery for cyst removal is done under local anesthesia.
It gives a permanent solution.

I had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 .Why I am having sharp needle like pain after drinking hot milk tea for 21 days .Near the incision area I have red swelling.
Female | 65
This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

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.

Who are the best laparoscopic surgeons in Dubai?
Female | 36
For the application of laparoscopic surgery, the most important criterion is to choose a doctor who knows how to follow safety rules and take care of the patient. For the most part, a minimally invasive approach is good to go in situations such as gallbladder problems, hernias, or pain in the abdomen. The symptoms are usually related to discomfort, bloating, or changes in digestion. Find well-known doctors with substantial experience in this field so that they can guarantee you sound treatments by their expertise. I propose that a competent health professional guide you.

Female | 28
You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away. Take care and be well!

Hello, I was pricked by a needle in my finger and there was a little bleeding, so will I have to get a tetanus injection or not?
Male | 21
Got pricked by a sharp needle? Bleeding? You might need a tetanus shot. Dirt can harbor bacteria that cause tetanus, which enters through cuts and wounds. Symptoms include stiff muscles and spasms. A tetanus shot can prevent the illness. Consult with a doctor to be safe.

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.

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.
