I'm a bit worried because I've noticed blood in my stool for the past two days. What could be causing this and what should I do to take care of myself?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Passing blood in stool, also known as hematochezia, can be caused by various factors, including: constipation, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colon cancer, or gastrointestinal infections; to care for yourself, drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, avoid straining during bowel movements, and consider taking a stool softener or fiber supplement; however, if bleeding persists, worsens, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out underlying conditions that require prompt treatment.

I'm pretty confused about my liver test results. My GGT level came back at 58. Does anyone know what that actually means? Is it considered normal, or should I be worried about it? Any insights would be really appreciated.
High levels of GGT in the blood could indicate that the enzyme is leaking out of the liver cells and into the blood. This may suggest that there is damage to the liver or bile ducts. GGT levels above 30 IUL in adults could indicate liver problems. High GGT levels can be caused by a number of conditions, including: Overuse of alcohol Chronic viral hepatitis Lack of blood flow to the liver Liver tumor Cirrhosis, or scarred liver Overuse of certain drugs or other toxins Heart failure Diabetes Pancreatitis Fatty liver disease so consult gastroenterologist for the same
