Question

I've been seeing some light red, almost pink specks of blood on toilet paper for a while now, and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this?

The presence of blood on toilet paper could be due to various reasons such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal issues. It is important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter medications like Preparation H (contains phenylephrine and shark liver oil) for hemorrhoids or Anovate cream (contains lidocaine and hydrocortisone) for anal fissures. Follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.

Question

I'm really concerned about a friend who recently got their blood test results back. They tested positive for Hepatitis B, and I'm trying to understand what the results mean. The results showed a Hepatitis B viral load of 940 IUml with a log value of 2.97, and the viral load was 5471 copiesml. I'm not sure if these numbers are high or what they indicate. Could you help me interpret if the results are positive or negative for Hepatitis B? I'm really anxious to get some clarity on this.

I accidentally swallowed a housefly the other day and my friend told me that it could lay eggs inside my body. I'm really worried about this. Is there a chance that something bad could happen? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned or not?

I'm 29 and I've been going to the gym regularly. I've started taking Blong tablets, and I'm a bit worried. Could these tablets be causing weight gain and constipation?
