Common Conditions Treated by a General Surgeon
Hernia (Inguinal, Umbilical, Incisional)
An organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall, creating a visible bulge.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Moderate — surgery is the definitive treatment
When to seek urgent care: Hernia becomes hard, painful, and cannot be pushed back (strangulated hernia — emergency)
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis)
Hard deposits in the gallbladder that can block bile ducts, causing severe pain.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Moderate — usually treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy
When to seek urgent care: Fever with jaundice (yellow eyes/skin), severe unrelenting pain, or pancreatitis
Appendicitis
Inflammation of the appendix, a common surgical emergency requiring appendectomy.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Emergency — surgery usually needed within 24 hours
When to seek urgent care: All appendicitis symptoms are serious — delay risks rupture and peritonitis
Piles (Haemorrhoids)
Swollen blood vessels in the rectum/anus causing bleeding and pain during bowel movements.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Usually mild — surgery for grade 3-4 piles
When to seek urgent care: Heavy bleeding, severe pain, or prolapsed haemorrhoid that cannot be pushed back
Thyroid Nodules & Goitre
Lumps in the thyroid gland or overall thyroid enlargement, some of which may be cancerous.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Varies — FNAC biopsy determines if surgery is needed
When to seek urgent care: Rapidly growing nodule, very hard lump, or associated hoarseness (may indicate malignancy)
Breast Lumps
Lumps in the breast that require evaluation to rule out cancer. Most are benign (fibroadenoma, cysts).
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Varies — biopsy needed to determine nature
When to seek urgent care: Hard, painless, fixed lump with skin dimpling or bloody nipple discharge

Post-Surgery Recovery Tips
Follow wound care instructions exactly
Keep the surgical site clean and dry. Change dressings as instructed. Watch for redness, swelling, or discharge.
Walk as soon as the surgeon allows
Early mobilisation prevents blood clots, improves digestion, and speeds recovery. Short walks every 2-3 hours.
Eat high-protein foods for healing
Include eggs, dal, chicken, paneer, and milk. Protein is essential for wound healing and tissue repair.
Don't lift heavy objects for the advised period
Premature heavy lifting after abdominal surgery can cause hernia or wound breakdown.
Take pain medications as prescribed, not just when severe
Staying ahead of pain helps you move, breathe deeply, and recover faster.
Attend all follow-up appointments
Post-operative check-ups catch complications early — don't skip them even if you feel fine.
