I'm a couple of days post-operation for piles and now I'm dealing with a fever, along with some cold symptoms and body pain. Is this something that just happens sometimes, or should I be worried that it's more serious?

Bathing after eating fruits like mango and banana is generally safe.

No specific gap is required, but consider:

Digestion time: Wait at least 30-60 minutes after eating to allow for digestion.

Blood sugar levels: Fruits like mango and banana can cause a temporary spike in blood sugar. Bathing shortly after may lead to:

Dizziness

Lightheadedness

Shivering

To be cautious:

Wait 1-2 hours after eating fruits before bathing.

Take a warm shower instead of a cold bath to avoid shocking your system.

No serious health issues will arise from bathing after eating fruits. However, being mindful of digestion time and blood sugar levels can ensure a comfortable bathing experience.

My sister has gallstones around 8.5mm in size and her gallbladder is really swollen and stretched out. Should she get surgery or is there another way to treat this?

Given the size of the gallstones and the swollen, stretched gallbladder, surgery (cholecystectomy) is usually the best and most definitive treatment. Delaying it can lead to complications like infection or pancreatitis. Medical management is limited and often ineffective in such cases. Please consult a surgeon for timely evaluation.

I've been dealing with a perianal abscess, and my ultrasound confirmed it. The doctors are saying I should have surgery, and I'm really anxious about any potential long-term effects it could have. Is surgery the only option here, or are there any alternatives I could consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Surgery is usually the most effective treatment for perianal abscesses, and while there may be some short-term discomfort and risk of complications, long-term effects are generally minimal; however, to discuss alternatives and potential risks, consult your surgeon
