Can you help me understand the results of my fecalysis? The color's dark brown and the consistency is mushy. There's a note about microscopic pus cells at 02 HPF and red cells at 01 HPF, but it says no parasites or ova. It mentions many bacteria too. I'm wondering if everything looks normal to you.

The reports of your fecal analysis are predominantly normal, with no presence of parasites or ova. There is however an increased bacterial count in your report, which may be indicative of an infection, depending on your symptoms.

My dad is 70 and has gallstones plus bile duct stones seen on MRI and CT He also has jaundice with high bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase The report says his CBD is dilated to 20mm with two stones - one near the ampulla and another 17mm stone in the distal CBD Can he just get an ERCP to remove the bile duct stones or does his gallbladder need to come out too What determines whether gallbladder removal is necessary in cases like this
ERCP can often remove CBD stones; gallbladder removal may still be needed later to prevent recurrence and depends on age, symptoms, and health.

I'm on medication for irritable bowel with velgutlibrax and rejunex for the last three months, but my doctor has recently cut it down to just librax three times daily. While sometimes I only need to go to the washroom once a day, there are other days when it's 2 to 3 times. My stool is still kinda semi-loose. Is this the right treatment approach for me?
reduce to twice daily and then to once daily
