I'm 35 weeks pregnant and having twins, and I'm 30 years old. I've been dealing with really bad itching and redness on my belly for the past 10 days, and it's especially rough at night because I can't sleep at all. My LFT came back with high levelsAlkaline phosphatase is at 346 IUL, G.P.T. is 105.2 IUL, and another one is 101.4 IUL. I'm taking Udiliv 150 three times a day, but it's not helping. I'm worried about what's causing this and if there's any risk to my babies. What should I do?

Your symptoms and elevated liver enzymes suggest intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a condition that can increase the risk of preterm birth, fetal distress, and stillbirth; consult your obstetrician to discuss the best course of action, which may include switching to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or adding antihistamines or topical creams to alleviate itching, and closely monitoring fetal well-being and liver function to ensure the health and safety of both you and your twins.

View allI'm a bit concerned about the looseness I've noticed in the skin of my labia majora, and it's got me wondering about natural ways to tighten it without surgery, especially since I'm only 24.

Low Vitamin D3 levels can be concerning. _Natural ways to increase Vitamin D3:_ 1. _Sunlight exposure_: Spend 10-15 minutes in sunlight, especially during peak hours (10am-4pm), to boost Vitamin D3 production. 2. _Fatty fish_: Consume fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are rich in Vitamin D3. 3. _Fortified foods_: Eat Vitamin D3-fortified foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice. 4. _Mushrooms_: Certain mushrooms, like shiitake and portobello, are natural sources of Vitamin D3. 5. _Egg yolks_: Egg yolks are a good source of Vitamin D3. _Supplements:_ If you're unable to get enough Vitamin D3 through natural sources, consider consulting with your doctor about taking supplements. _Target levels:_ Aim to increase your Vitamin D3 levels to 30-50 ngmL. _Monitor progress:_ Regularly check your Vitamin D3 levels to ensure you're reaching the target range.

My friend found this lump on the lower right side of her breast. It's about the size of a glass marble and is really painful. It also seems to move a little when you touch it. We're both really worried about what it could be. Is this something serious, and what should we do next?
