Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

There's currently no cure for Hepatitis A. An infected person usually gets better within few months. Till then symptoms can be managed with supportive treatments, adequate rest and hydration.

I've been struggling with a weird issue for the past couple of months and could use some advice on what's going on. After every meal, I feel this strong urge to go to the bathroom, and while the stool seems normal, it still concerns me. To make things more confusing, sometimes after I clean up, that urge comes back, but nothing happens. I'm really getting worried about what could be causing this. Can you shed any light on what might be happening?

I just had my company's annual fitness test, and it turns out my SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin levels are high. I don't have any symptoms, which is confusing. I've attached all my reports for you to see. Could you tell me what's going on and how I can bring those levels down?

Yes, sperm donation is a real thing and a vital option for individuals and couples struggling with infertility. It's not as simple as blood donation, as it involves a rigorous screening process, including medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. To donate sperm, you can visit a fertility clinic, sperm bank, or reproductive medicine center. Some well-known sperm banks include Cryos International, European Sperm Bank, and California Cryobank.
