Considering surgery?
Common (and painful) issues like gallbladder problems, hernias, hemorrhoids and vericose veins can often be taken care of with relatively simple surgeries. In most cases, patients can go home the same day the surgery is performed—allowing them to feel better and get back to their loved ones. So don't delay and get some pain relief -- call a General Surgeon to schedule a consultation.
