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 dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?
For a 7mm gallbladder stone, while non-surgical treatments are possible, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the preferred and most effective way to remove the stone and prevent future problems. Non-surgical options, like medication to dissolve the stone or shock wave lithotripsy, are less common and may not be suitable for all cases

I have multiple gallstones, with the largest being 12mm and others around 8-9mm. I'm also diabetic, and my HIDA scan showed 95% gallbladder function. Should I consider surgery for gallstones? I'm worried about potential future issues like chronic diarrhea, fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, liver problems, or increased gas and acidity after gallbladder removal.
Given your multiple gallstones, including one 12mm stone, and your diabetes, surgery (cholecystectomy) is a strong consideration for addressing the gallstones. While a HIDA scan showing 95% gallbladder function indicates relatively good function, larger stones, especially in a diabetic patient, increase the risk of complications and may outweigh the benefits of maintaining the gallbladder
