I'm looking at my lab report and it's showing my SGPT level is at 136, while the normal range is between 21 and 72. My SGOT level is at 69, but the normal range should be between 17 and 59. Should I be worried about this? Also, what would be the treatment for these levels?

Elevated SGPT and SGOT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To address this, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin to support liver function. It is important to avoid alcohol and fatty foods, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help improve your liver health. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to monitor your progress.

I was just diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and I'm a bit worried - can this be managed with meds or will I need surgery? I'm not sure how serious it is and what the best treatment options are

A hiatal hernia is a condition where a part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm. While many people with hiatal hernias don't experience symptoms and don't need treatment, others may experience symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux that can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. In some cases, especially with large or symptomatic hernias, surgery may be needed to repair the hernia

I've been having this burning sensation around my rectum for a few days now, and I'm a bit worried. My meals have been pretty spicy lately, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. I've been drinking plenty of water, so I'm not sure what else could be causing it. Do you have any advice on how I can make this go away?
