A: I am not a medical doctor and I am not in a position to provide medical advice. However, in my opinion most surgeries are a last resort after other treatment has been tried and found to be ineffective. If that is where you are at and you trust the doctor's that are telling you to have surgery, you may want to consider the procedure. If this is an emergency situation where you may suffer permanent harm by not getting the surgery immediately, that would also be a good reason to move forward with the procedure.
