I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for months now and none of the over-the-counter treatments seem to help. Should I consider surgery at this point or are there other options I haven't tried yet?

Piles unresponsive to OTC medication may benefit from prescription creams, dietary fiber,or office procedures (rubber band ligation) before surgery.

I've been dealing with GERD for the past 2 years and it's really frustrating. Is there any way to cure it permanently without having to go through surgery? I'd love to know what options are out there.

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I've been dealing with chest pain and my doctor recommended an ultrasound of my whole abdomen. They found that my liver is enlarged, measuring 156 mm. Could you tell me what the normal size for a healthy human liver should be?

The normal size of a human liver is approximately 120-150 mm. In your case, with a measurement of 156 mm, it indicates hepatomegaly or an enlarged liver. This could be due to various reasons such as fatty liver, hepatitis, or other underlying medical conditions. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this cramping-like pain on the right side of my abdomen, and my doctor advised I get an ultrasound and some blood work done, including an LFT. The results came back, and everything looks normal, even my liver size. But then it says I've got a Grade 3 fatty liver. Is it normal to have such a thing when the other tests are fine? How common is this, and what should I be doing about it? Could there be some underlying serious issue I should be worried about?
