I've been having some diarrhea and mild pain in the upper part of my stomach since yesterday. The pain eases when I go to the bathroom, but my stools are really watery. Should I be taking Ciplox TZ or Noflox TZ for this? And how much should I take?

View allI've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?
It is a measure of liver stiffness, with higher values suggesting more advanced liver fibrosis. This does not necessarily mean it is due to fatty liver, as there are various causes of liver fibrosis. Based on the fibroscan report, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of liver fibrosis. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause of liver fibrosis.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I just had my company's annual fitness test, and it turns out my SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin levels are high. I don't have any symptoms, which is confusing. I've attached all my reports for you to see. Could you tell me what's going on and how I can bring those levels down?
Yes, sperm donation is a real thing and a vital option for individuals and couples struggling with infertility. It's not as simple as blood donation, as it involves a rigorous screening process, including medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. To donate sperm, you can visit a fertility clinic, sperm bank, or reproductive medicine center. Some well-known sperm banks include Cryos International, European Sperm Bank, and California Cryobank.
