I'm really concerned about my husband's health. He has gallstones, and theyre about 6.5mm in size according to his recent reports. I'm just wondering if they really have to be operated on. If surgery is necessary, could you recommend a good doctor in Hyderabad? If its not urgent, what can he do to manage or prevent any complications?

Your husband's gallstone size of 6.5mm is considered relatively small, and surgery might not be immediately necessary. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm really concerned about this report I got that mentions "fatty liver" and says something about "parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous." Could you explain what these terms mean and if they're something I should be worried about? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it and just need a bit of clarity on how serious this might be.

The medical term "fatty liver and parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous" indicates that your liver has accumulated excess fat and its tissue structure appears irregular and non-uniform on ultrasound imaging, which may suggest a condition like hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss the diagnosis, potential causes, and appropriate treatment plan.

I've been having this pain just above my belly button for about 23 days now. I recently noticed this thick, light yellow puss lightly oozing from my belly button. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you advise me on what type of doctor I should see for this issue?
