Question

I'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Question

I'm a bit worried and curious if there's any connection between not masturbating for a while and having stomach issues like acid reflux. I've been experiencing acid reflux and thought maybe it's linked to this. Is there any harm in masturbation related to this, or is it okay if I start again since it's been tough to resist?

Question

I'm dealing with this strange issue where I have gas and anal itching, and it always seems to happen right after nocturnal ejaculation or masturbation. It's really frustrating because it clears up after a few days, but I'm worried because I've noticed this at least 10 times over the past 23 months. I've done blood tests and stool tests, and everything comes back normal. Every doctor I've consulted says there's no connection, but I'm not convinced. What could be causing this, and how can I solve it?

Question

I'm having some discomfort when I have a bowel movement. The first part of my stool is really hard and sometimes it feels like a small piece of tissue, about 0.3 to 0.5 cm, is coming out from my anus when I clean up. The area around my anus gets itchy now and then too. I'm really not sure if Im dealing with piles or if it's something else. Can you help me figure this out and maybe let me know what foods I should avoid?
