Can exercise actually help cure polyps or is surgery the only option to remove them especially when they cause bleeding

While regular exercise can be beneficial for overall health and may help manage symptoms associated with polyps, it cannot cure them or remove them. Surgery is generally the only effective way to remove polyps, especially when they cause bleeding or other significant symptoms

I'm a bit worried about my recent blood test results. My indirect bilirubin is 1.24, direct bilirubin is 0.21, and my total bilirubin is 1.45. Should I visit a doctor for this? Is this something to be concerned about?

Based on the bilirubin levels you provided, it seems like your total bilirubin level is slightly elevated. It is important to determine the underlying cause of this elevation. In this case, you may need further evaluation by a doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. One common cause of elevated bilirubin levels is liver or gallbladder issues. Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may recommend specific medications such as Ursodiol to help lower bilirubin levels.
