I'm a bit worried about my bilirubin levels since I noticed some mild variations in my latest report. Could you take a look at my results attached here? My total bilirubin is 1.53, with a direct bilirubin of 0.3 and an indirect level of 1.23. Also, my AST (SGOT) is 53 and AST (SGPT) is 77. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it within normal ranges?

View all**User Query:** I have a pedunculated polyp in the duodenal bulb that's just over 1 cm. My doctor mentioned removal, but I'm worried about risks like bleeding or perforation during the procedure. How safe is a gastroscopy or duodenoscopy for this? Also, if I don't remove it, could it grow bigger, cause blockage, or turn cancerous? Would I eventually need major surgery if I leave it?
A duodenal bulb polyp, especially if over 1 cm, is generally recommended for removal due to the increased risk of it becoming cancerous. While gastroscopy or duodenoscopy is generally safe, there are risks like bleeding and perforation, though the likelihood is low. If left untreated, the polyp could potentially grow larger, potentially obstructing the digestive tract, and there's a chance it could become cancerous. Major surgery is less likely, but may be needed if the polyp progresses or causes complications

I'm dealing with drooling for the past few months and I've heard it might be from worms in the stomach. I've had worm issues before, so I'm concerned this might be related. How can I put an end to this problem once and for all? Also, I've noticed a big gain in weight over the past couple of years. Could these be connected? What should I do?
Drooling may be related to various causes, and its important to get an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare provider. Worm infestations are treatable with medications, but they are unlikely to be the direct cause of drooling. For weight gain, a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, and medical consultation is necessary to manage the condition effectively.

I'm just getting over typhoid fever and I'm wondering about when it might be okay to have a beer again. How long should I wait after recovering before it's safe to drink alcohol?
It is advisable to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from typhoid fever before consuming alcohol. This is to ensure that your body has fully recovered and to avoid any potential strain on your liver.
