I'm Rajesh and I've been having this abdominal pain on the left side of my belly button for about 4 years now. I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they told me it's IBS. But just last week, I had an ultrasound and they found a 3mm gallbladder polyp. I'm really worried about it and it's making it hard for me to focus on work. Is this something dangerous? What should I do?

A 3mm gallbladder polyp is generally not dangerous, but regular monitoring is important. No immediate treatment is typically required, but keep an eye on any changes in symptoms. Managing IBS and discussing your stress with your doctor can help improve your overall well-being.

I'm dealing with jaundice and my bilirubin level is 5.2, with the conjugate one at 3.5 and the unconjugate at 1.5. How long should I expect this to take before it improves? And is it okay for me to go to college while I'm dealing with this? I've been eating boiled foods, but I'm wondering if it's safe to have noodles or something similar while I'm recovering.

With a bilirubin level of 5.2, your jaundice is mild to moderate, and recovery time varies from person to person, but typically takes 1-4 weeks; you can attend college, but take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activities; stick to a bland diet, and while boiled foods are good, avoid fattyspicy foods like noodles for now, instead opt for easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet),

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and I've been diagnosed with a grade 3 fatty liver. I don't have diabetes and just drink occasionally. I recently had a fibroscan that showed no fibrosis, but my SGOT is 70, SGPT is 45. My total bilirubin level is 1.2, with direct bilirubin at 0.8, and my uric acid is 7.9. Should I be worried about these numbers, and what can I do to improve my liver health?
