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:

  1. A urologist or andrologist (specialists in male reproductive health)
  2. 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.

I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's really uncomfortable, especially with the gas problem I have. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?

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.
