I'm a 32-year-old male, and I'm a bit worried about my recent liver test results. My SGOT is 63 and my SGPT is 70. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Also, my bilirubin level is 1.26. Could you please advise me on whether these are dangerous and suggest any medicine or lifestyle changes I should consider?

Smegma is a normal, harmless substance.

To get rid of smegma:

Retract your foreskin and gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products. Dry the area thoroughly after washing. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week.

Consult a urologist or healthcare professional if you experience discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting your foreskin.

My mom has gallstones that are 34mm in size can they be treated with medications or will she need surgery

For gallstones of 34mm, surgery is generally recommended, rather than medication. While medications can sometimes be used to dissolve cholesterol stones, this is not a reliable approach for large stones or stones causing symptoms.
