I have a 7mm gallstone and was wondering if it can be treated with medicine or if surgery is needed. I had a normal delivery in December 2016 and am currently breastfeeding my baby if I need surgery, will I still be able to feed my baby?

A 7mm gallbladder stone may require surgical removal, especially if it's causing pain or complications. If you need surgery, it's essential to discuss with your doctor whether its safe to breastfeed post-surgery.

I have a perineal abscess and the pain is really bad near it, is there any way to treat it without surgery

A perineal abscess often requires drainage to relieve pain and prevent worsening infection. In some early or mild cases, antibiotics and warm sitz baths may help temporarily, but surgery (incision and drainage) is usually the definitive treatment. Please consult a doctor promptly to avoid complications.
