I'm a bit worried about my liver health because my recent blood tests showed SGPT (ALT) levels at 70.2 UL and SGOT (AST) at 58.3 UL. Could this mean I have a fatty liver? If it is, should I be starting any medication for it? Also, are there natural remedies I can try to help with this?

Nightfall (nocturnal emission) is a normal phenomenon, especially during adolescence and early adulthood. The frequency you've described (5-7 times a month) is within the normal range.
Regarding your concerns:
The white sticky liquid is likely semen, which contains sperm.
Masturbation: It's normal if nothing comes out except urine, as the body may not always produce semen during masturbation.
Sex with condom: Using a condom prevents sperm from entering the partner's body, so it's expected that you wouldn't feel sperm coming out.
Fertility: Nightfall and masturbation don't affect fertility. As long as you have normal semen production and sperm count, you can father a child.
If you're concerned about your fertility or have questions, consider consulting:
- A urologist or andrologist (specialists in male reproductive health)
- A sexologist or a counselor (for guidance on sexual health and relationships)
Remember, it's essential to practice safe sex and use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy.

Im an 18-year-old girl, and I recently noticed a small lump near my anus. I did some online searching and think it might be an external hemorrhoid. There was some bearable pain in that area before the lump showed up, so I didnt pay much attention to it. A week after, this small lump appeared after I went to the bathroom. It doesnt hurt or bleed, but Im a bit worried about what it could be. Could this really be a hemorrhoid, and what should I do next?
Based on your description, it is likely that you have an external hemorrhoid. To help alleviate the symptoms and reduce the swelling, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream. Apply a small amount of the cream on the affected area up to four times a day. Additionally, you can take oral pain relievers such as ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. Make sure to drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused because the pharmacy gave me Sucrafil solution instead of the Sucrafil O gel solution that my doctor prescribed. Are they the same thing? Can I use the Sucrafil solution, or do I need to get the exact one my doctor mentioned? Just to give you a bit more context, here's what my prescription looks like: Rablet 20 mg before breakfast, Ganaton OD after breakfast, Rantac 150 after dinner, and the Sucrafil O gel solution before breakfast and dinner. Would love your advice on what to do next.
