I'm a bit worried after my recent full body checkup. The results showed I have Hepatomegaly with Grade 2 fatty liver. My doctor gave me some medicines to help treat it. But when I looked online, I found posts saying it's best to stop taking medicines since they can harm the liver. I'm confused about whether to trust the medication or follow the advice I saw online. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

If you are a drinker, stop any and all alcohol consumption immediately. Grade 2 fatty liver is reversible through commonly used medication and lifestyle changes. There are liver protective drugs like UDCA which should be started under the supervision of a specialist.

View allI've been dealing with a really bad headache for a while now, along with dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. I can't stand noise or bright lights, and being in crowds just makes me feel sick and irritated. Lately, I've noticed I'm constipated too.

My wife's recent USG showed a gallstone the biggest one is 6.7mm. She doesn't have any pain, but she's lost a lot of weight, down to 56 kg over the last 6 months. Does she need surgery, or will medicine be enough? Also, could the stone be causing her weight loss, and how can she regain the weight she's lost?
A 6.7 mm gallstone without pain rarely needs surgery; weight loss is unlikely from the stone—focus on nutrition and rule out other causes.
