I'm a bit worried since my scan showed a polyp in my gall bladder. Is this similar to a stone, or is it more like an overgrown cell?

View allI've been noticing my stomach has this pulsating sensation, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping upright. I've been dealing with IBS and gas, but the pulsating started around 8 months ago and it's got me a bit anxious. It even feels more intense when I start to think about it. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Should I be worried about this?
Pulsation of stomach is not related to IBS. Pulsation can be normally seen in thin build person where you will feel the pulsation at the exact time as the heart beat(there actually exist few microsecond difference but cannot appreciate) Different disease wherein we see the pulsation in stomach are Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm(AAA), vascular malformation, Thyroid disorders and many more for which you will need to do certain investigations.

I recently had a general blood test, and most of my results look good. However, I'm a bit worried as my ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (SGPT) level is at 56.2 UI. Is this something I should be concerned about, or do you have any advice on what I should do next?
It's understandable to feel concerned, but an SGPT level of 56.2 UI is slightly elevated and may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation, especially if there are any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, to rule out liver-related conditions.

I'm having this feeling like there's a needle and a burning sensation inside my anus, especially when I sit down. It's really annoying, and when I walk, it feels like there's stool stuck there. I've been dealing with constipation for about 34 weeks now, and just yesterday when I tried forcing the stool out, I felt like a jolt of pain, like a needle inside. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?
The symptoms of feeling a needle-like sensation, heat, and pain in the anus, accompanied by constipation and a sensation of stool presence, could indicate an anal fissure, hemorrhoids, or proctitis; consider consulting a gastroenterologist
