I'm a bit confused about my recent ultrasound results. Initially, they found an isoechoic lesion attached to the gallbladder, saying something about the anterior wall being 4.3mm by 2.2mm. Now, after another ultrasound, it's showing gallbladder polyps at 7.5mm. I'm not sure what this really means for my health or what kind of treatment I should be considering. Could you help clarify and advise on what steps I should take next?

An isoechoic lesion attached to the gallbladder wall could be a gallbladder polyp, which is a tissue growth that extends from the gallbladder's mucous lining.If a gallbladder polyp increases in size by 2 mm or more, or reaches 10 mm in diameter, surgical removal of the gallbladder, called cholecystectomy, may be recommended. As in this case size increases so surgery should be recommended

View allI've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its own? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some insight.
I'm happy to help clarify this for you. *Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results* *Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)* - You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. *Recent Test Results* - Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood. *What Does This Mean?* A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that: 1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases. 2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response. However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as: 1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity. 2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.

I've been eating soap bars every day for the past three years, and I can't seem to stop. I'm kinda worried because I don't know if this is bad for my body. Is it dangerous, and what should I do about it?
