I tested positive for H pylori with some duodenal erosions and also have an inguinal scrotal hernia surgery coming up can I still go ahead with the surgery or do I need to treat the infection first

It's generally recommended to treat the H. pylori infection before undergoing hernia surgery. The presence of duodenal erosions, along with H. pylori, can potentially impact the healing process after surgery and increase the risk of complications. However, the decision of whether to proceed with surgery immediately or delay it for treatment should be made in consultation with your doctor, considering the specific circumstances of your case.
