Question 1

I'm a 32-year-old male, and I'm a bit worried about my recent liver test results. My SGOT is 63 and my SGPT is 70. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Also, my bilirubin level is 1.26. Could you please advise me on whether these are dangerous and suggest any medicine or lifestyle changes I should consider?

Accepted Answer

Smegma is a normal, harmless substance.

To get rid of smegma:

Retract your foreskin and gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation.
Avoid using harsh or abrasive products.
Dry the area thoroughly after washing.
Repeat this process 2-3 times a week.

Consult a urologist or healthcare professional if you experience discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting your foreskin.

Question 2

So I just got my full body check-up done at the health camp at work, and I'm 39, by the way. All my tests were pretty standard - blood tests and ECG and all that. The results seemed okay, but I noticed my alkaline phosphatase levels are high. The thing is, I feel fine and don't have any issues that I'm aware of. Could you tell me what symptoms might show up with high alkaline phosphatase?

Accepted Answer

A high alk phos level occurs when there is a blockage of flow in the biliary tract or a buildup of pressure in the liver--often caused by a gallstone or scarring in the bile ducts.

Question 3

I'm having this sensation where my chest feels really tight, like there's gas trapped in there, especially when I'm lying down. Sometimes, I wake up suddenly with this kind of unsettling sensation shooting up to my brain, and there's this bitter taste in my mouth. It's starting to worry me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

yes you can

I've been having some chest pain on the right side and in my stomach ever since I threw up a couple of days ago. It's particularly noticeable when I take deep breaths. I'm not sure which type of doctor I should go see about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and who I should consult?
