I'm going through some digestive issues and could really use your advice. My bowel movements aren't regular, but when they are, they're pretty loose. I've been taking medication, and that seems to help with the consistency, but then I get these gas problems. Interestingly, these gas issues seem to ease up after I've had a bowel movement. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be some side effect of the medication, or is there something else at play here?

My sister has been dealing with dengue and fever for about six days now. Her blood test showed her SGPT level is at 432.80 and SGOT is 551.30. I'm really concerned about what this could mean. Could you explain the implications of these levels and any way we might be able to bring them down?
To help reduce these levels and support her liver function, she can take a medication called Liv 52. The recommended dosage is 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, she should drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid alcohol and fatty foods.

I'm having some discomfort when I have a bowel movement. The first part of my stool is really hard and sometimes it feels like a small piece of tissue, about 0.3 to 0.5 cm, is coming out from my anus when I clean up. The area around my anus gets itchy now and then too. I'm really not sure if Im dealing with piles or if it's something else. Can you help me figure this out and maybe let me know what foods I should avoid?
Based on your symptoms, its likely that you are experiencing hemorrhoids , which can cause discomfort and the sensation of tissue coming out of the anus. The best course of action is to increase your fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Over-the-counter remedies and sitz baths can help relieve symptoms. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a proctologist or gastroenterologist for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
