I'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.

I've been having stomach burning and gas issues, so I got an abdominal ultrasound that showed gallbladder polyps. Is there any homeopathy medicine that can help with this without needing surgery?
No. Some kinds of polyps do, but not gallbladder polyps. They are more likely to grow over time in both size and numbers. There is no way to remove them without surgery.
