Hey, I know this might sound a bit odd, but I'm concerned about the possibility of an ant getting inside the vagina. Could you let me know what the potential effects might be if that happened? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate your advice on this.

Elevated SGPT and SGOT Levels*

Your SGPT (alanine transaminase) and SGOT (aspartate transaminase) levels are significantly elevated, indicating liver stress or damage.

Current Regimen

You've been following an Ayurvedic treatment plan, cycling daily, and avoiding oily and fatty foods. However, your liver enzyme levels have increased instead of decreasing.

Concerns

Inadequate treatment: The current Ayurvedic treatment may not be effective in reducing your liver enzyme levels.

Underlying condition: There might be an underlying condition, such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, or other liver disorders, that needs to be addressed.

Medication interactions: Certain medications, including Ayurvedic preparations, can interact with each other or with your liver, exacerbating the condition.

Recommendations

Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your elevated liver enzyme levels.

Re-evaluate your treatment plan: Discuss your current treatment plan with your doctor and consider alternative options, such as conventional medications or lifestyle modifications.

Liver function tests: Repeat your liver function tests to monitor your enzyme levels and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Abdominal ultrasound: Consider undergoing an abdominal ultrasound to rule out any underlying liver conditions.

Job Abroad and Retest

Inform your employer: Share your health concerns with your employer and request guidance on the retest.

Provide medical documentation: Offer to provide medical documentation from your doctor to support your situation.

I'm really worried and could use some help. My girlfriend and I had sex the day after her period ended, and I gave her an Unwanted 72 pill 48 hours later. A week after taking the pill, she got her period again, and a blood test showed negative for pregnancy. But now, it's been a month since all that, and she hasn't gotten her period again. She's feeling pain in her stomach and like there's something moving in a circular way. Could you tell me what might be going on?

I've been dealing with this horrible pain for a couple of hours now, it's in my lower abdomen on the side away from my appendix. It's really strange because when I'm lying down, it doesn't bother me, but walking is super painful and sitting up is just unbearable. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your ovary, bowel, or urinary tract, possibly an ovarian cyst, infection, or even diverticulitis. Please see a doctor immediately for evaluation, as this pain requires urgent attention. Rest and avoid straining in the meantime.

I'm planning for pregnancy and sometimes I need to take montair Lc as my doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried though. Could this affect my pregnancy planning in any way?

Montair LC, containing montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but consult your doctor before planning a pregnancy while taking this medication, as they may recommend alternative treatments or close monitoring to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
