I've been wondering if it's okay to take a bath an hour after eating a meal. Is that gap of one hour alright, or could it cause issues like problems with digestion?

My 57-year-old uncle's ultrasound showed a few small 2mm echogenic foci in his gallbladder sludge or small calculi. Can this be managed with meds or does he need surgery?

For small gallbladder sludge or calculi (stones) less than 5mm, treatment often involves watchful waiting and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is generally not needed unless the sludge or stones cause symptoms or complications like bile duct blockage.

I recently got my full body test results back, and my bilirubin total is 1.81. It's a bit higher than the normal range, which I understand is between 0.2 to 1.2. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and what steps can I take to bring it back to normal?

No need to worry ,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style nad take Vit E supplements
