I found out I had Jaundice at the end of February, and my bilirubin is now down to 1.9, with my SGPT and SGOT levels being normal. I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke weed occasionally, like once a week?

Unwanted erections during meals can be embarrassing and puzzling. Here are some possible explanations:
Possible Causes
- Nerve stimulation: Pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area or spine can cause involuntary erections.
- Hormonal fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to increased arousal.
- Overactive bladder: A sensitive bladder can cause the nerves to misfire, leading to erections.
- Anxiety or stress: High levels of stress or anxiety can cause physical responses like erections.
- Certain medications: Some medications, such as antidepressants or blood pressure medications, can cause increased arousal as a side effect.
What to Do
- Consult a doctor: Discuss your symptoms with a primary care physician or a urologist to rule out underlying medical conditions.
- Keep a symptom journal: Track when the erections occur, what you're eating, and any other factors that might be contributing.
- Practice relaxation techniques: Stress-reducing activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga might help alleviate anxiety-related erections.

I've been experiencing a lot of strange noises coming from my stomach lately. It's like there's a constant rumbling, growling, and gurgling going on, especially after I use the washroom in the morning. I've also noticed that my trips to the bathroom have been a bit concerning since the latrine seems to be a slightly darker color. On top of that, I sometimes get hit with sudden bouts of what feels like dysentery. This has been happening for about 5 to 6 months now. Could you offer any insight into what's going on with my stomach?

I'm really worried about my recent ultrasonography report. It says I have hepatomegaly, a fatty liver, and a fatty pancreas. I took Udiliv 300 for three months last year, but the fatty liver is still there. What can I do to improve my liver condition and overall health? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Fatty liver and pancreatitis require lifestyle changes for improvement. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and reduce alcohol intake. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial. You may also want to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate whether further treatment or changes to your medication are necessary.
