I'm feeling a bit worried about my recent bilirubin test results. The direct photometry reading was 0.36 mgdl when it should be between 0 and 0.30, and the indirect calculated bilirubin was at 1.6 mgdl, higher than the normal range of 0 to 0.9. My total photometry was 1.96 mgdl, outside the 0.30 to 1.20 range too. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Also, I'm wondering if these levels might affect my health in any way, particularly when it comes to having intercourse. Should I be concerned about anything specific?

View allI'm 45 years old and dealing with piles issues right now. My doctor mentioned trying Hilo tablets. Can you explain how these tablets work for piles? I'm just trying to understand how they'll help with my condition.
Hilo tablets, containing Daflon (diosmin and hesperidin), work by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening blood vessels, which helps alleviate piles symptoms such as pain, itching, and bleeding by reducing swelling and promoting healing of the affected veins.

I had fistula surgery a month ago but I'm still seeing dark maroon blood in my stool. Is this normal or should I be worried? What could be causing this?
Seeing dark maroon blood in stool after fistula surgery, even a month later, is not normal and should be evaluated by a doctor. While some bleeding is expected in the initial stages of recovery, continued bleeding can indicate a complication or a return of the fistula

What exactly is this viral load thing I've been hearing about? I'm stressing about my health a lot. Is hepatitis B something that can be cured? My test results came back saying HBsAg is provisionally reactive, and the lab suggested I get an HBsAg confirmatory test. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms I've read about online, but I'm feeling very tired and have lost a lot of weight, going from 68 kg to 58 kg. Could this be because of hepatitis B? How do I find out if this is an acute or chronic infection, and is it something fatal or life-threatening? I'm really worried here.
Viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in your blood; a confirmatory test will determine if you're infected; Hepatitis B can be managed, but not completely cured; symptoms like fatigue and weight loss can occur, but it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment; acute HBV is typically self-limiting, while chronic HBV requires ongoing management; it's not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated, can lead to liver damage or cancer; schedule an appointment with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss your results, determine the stage of infection, and develop a treatment plan.
