AI Thread Summary
Surgery for a swollen, scarred gland is generally uncomfortable, with varying levels of pain and recovery time depending on the procedure type. The specific gland involved and the surgical approach, whether through small incisions or larger ones, will significantly impact the experience. It's advisable to consult with a specialist for tailored information regarding the surgery. Concerns about discomfort are common, especially in sensitive areas, but many procedures can be minimally invasive. Overall, a speedy recovery is hoped for after the surgery.

Hey

I'm going to have surgery on/for a swollen, scarred gland, (I haven't seen a specialist about it yet but I'm scheduled to see one in two weeks) Can anyone tell me whether or not that's going to suck?

Thanks

Which gland(s) in particular are we talking about? Any surgery is not going to be a pleasant experience, but obviously some are worse, ie-more pain/recovery time, than others.
 
It also depends on the kind of surgery, whether they are going in through a small hole or actually have to make an incision.
 
I guess I should wait until I see the specialist to find out about it then
It's in a pretty uncomfortable area, since it developed from an STD (It didn't develop from Aids or anything though)
I'm pretty sure they have to make an incision

Don't be too sure, they can do a lot through tiny incisions, just wait on what the specialist will say :) I hope you'll have a speedy recovery.
 
thanks, it probably won't be that bad

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'
The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
