I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?

Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm trying to understand what it means to have grade I fatty liver. Should I be worried about it? I already saw a doctor and did all the tests, but he didn't prescribe any medication. Instead, he suggested I cut down on fatty foods, lose some weight, and come back in three months. Does this mean it's not that serious? Could lifestyle changes really make a difference, and should I be doing anything else in the meantime?
Grade I fatty liver does not cause symptoms and can be reversible with lifestyle changes. Your doctor's advice to reduce fat content in food, lose weight, and follow up after three months is appropriate for managing Grade I fatty liver. It is important to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, engage in regular physical activity, and achieve gradual weight loss if overweight or obese. There is no specific medication recommended for Grade I fatty liver, as lifestyle modifications are the mainstay of treatment

I've just got my routine check-up results, and everything seems normal except for a mild fatty liver grade 1. I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT is at 257 and SGPT is 93. All other tests, including the urine test, came back normal. Could you help me understand what this might mean and if I should be worried?

I'm dealing with this strange issue where I have gas and anal itching, and it always seems to happen right after nocturnal ejaculation or masturbation. It's really frustrating because it clears up after a few days, but I'm worried because I've noticed this at least 10 times over the past 23 months. I've done blood tests and stool tests, and everything comes back normal. Every doctor I've consulted says there's no connection, but I'm not convinced. What could be causing this, and how can I solve it?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
