I have a 12.5 mm gallstone and fatty liver do I need surgery right away or are there other options I can try first?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 12.5 mm gallstone and fatty liver may or may not require immediate surgery. The need for surgery depends on whether the gallstone is causing symptoms, and the severity of the fatty liver. If the gallstone is causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, or digestive issues, surgery might be recommended. The fatty liver should also be evaluated, as its severity influences the surgical risk

View allMy mom just had some tests done and her SPGT ALT in liver function came back at 56. I'm really trying to understand what this means. Should we be taking any specific steps or actions moving forward?
An elevated SGPT (ALT) level of 56 indicates mild liver damage or inflammation, which can be caused by various factors such as fatty liver, hepatitis, medication side effects, or alcohol consumption; as a next step, consider consulting a gastroenterologis

Hey, I've been having some breathing issues for the past six months and it's bothering me a lot. Im a 26-year-old guy with a lean build, but my belly sort of sticks out and I'm wondering if its related. Every night about 20 minutes after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly feeling breathless and like my throat is narrowing. Drinking a glass of water seems to help, and then I can sleep through the rest of the night. In the morning, there's this discomfort in my upper chest, along with a weird taste in my mouth and it feels dry, which wakes me up. Sometimes I notice I clench my teeth in my sleep too. I've noticed whenever I eat, whether it's lunch or dinner, the discomfort in my stomach and chest gets worse and my breathing problems intensify. If I lie down for a while, it seems to help. And if I have a drink, the next day's breathing and eating feel even more difficult. The tightness in my chest and stomach is really noticeable when Im sitting down. Also, I walk 4 kilometers daily. Could these things be connected, and what should I do about it?

I've been having this abdominal pain in my lower groin area, and it seems to get worse when I feel like I need to pass stool, which has been coming out black. There's also a lot of gas and I feel hungry, but every time I eat, I feel an immediate urge to use the bathroom again. It's been a bit worrying, and Im wondering what could be causing it?
