When Should You See a General Surgeon?

A General Surgeon handles surgical treatment for a wide range of conditions involving the abdomen, skin, breast, and soft tissues. Your GP or specialist typically refers you to a surgeon when surgery is the recommended treatment.

  • Persistent abdominal pain not responding to medication
  • Visible lump in the abdomen, groin, or breast
  • Hernia — bulge in groin or navel area, especially when coughing
  • Gallbladder pain — upper right abdomen pain after fatty meals
  • Appendicitis symptoms — sharp pain in lower right abdomen
  • Non-healing wound or abscess
  • Piles (haemorrhoids) with bleeding or severe pain
  • Thyroid nodule or goitre requiring biopsy or surgery

Seek emergency care for sudden severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, abdominal trauma, or signs of bowel obstruction (no gas passage, distended abdomen, vomiting).
