Health

Hello Dr...Good Day! I like to have your medical suggestion about the treatment of multiple lipomas on my body. Once I got it removed some ten years ago. And from then, I noticed that the lipomas got multiplicated. Would it had been better if I did not gotten the first lipoma removed? Also, kindly let me know the most safer options of limiting the lipomas in terms of their growth, size and number too. Thanks

Ans: Lipoma usually repears after certain period of time. It will be better to get the lipid profile done and have a physical consultation done.
There is limited evidence to suggest removal of lipoma has long term benefit.

Hello mam, I am 52 YO female with surgically removed gall bladder and uterus simultaneously 4 years ago. I have 13 big lipomas on my head on my scalp since last 23 years. I had thick hair so the lipomas were not visible to other people but now my hair have fallen with age and hair have stopped growing on and around lipomas so now the lipomas are being visible and new small lipomas are also growing all over the scalp, further reducing my hair growth. 23 years back when first showed the first lipoma to two doctors, they told that these are incurable and harmless and if surgical removed, they will grow again so leave it like that. That time I didn't know that there will be these many lipomas in my head in future. Please suggest what's the treatment for removal of so many scalp lipomas. Thanks

Lipoma is one of this result. There is no cure for this. But be on the alert in fat consumption Having removed your Gall bladder, the fat digestion will be harder too.

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Relationship

Hello, I am in relationship with a girl and she is started getting white patches. I am scared to marry her as it passes on genetically but at the same time I feel guilty of leaving her. I am so stuck in my life. What should I do?

Ans: It sounds like you’re facing a deep internal conflict - one between fear and love, between logic and emotion. And that’s completely human. Ask yourself - What are you truly afraid of? Is it the uncertainty of the future? The possibility of judgment? Or is it the weight of responsibility that love brings?
Relationships are rarely about guarantees. They’re about choices - choosing to stand by someone despite the unknowns, despite the imperfections. But the real question isn’t about her condition. It’s about you. What do you value more - certainty or connection? Fear or commitment? What kind of partner do you want to be, not just for her, but for yourself?
Because in the end, it’s not about genetics. It’s about who you choose to be when faced with uncertainty. So, who do you want to become?
Wishing you success,
