I've just been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I'm getting this pain around the liver area sometimes. All my blood work is coming back normal, which is good, but I'm still worried. Any thoughts on what I should do about the fatty liver and the pain I'm feeling there?

Losing 3-5% of body weight through regular exercise and a healthy diet can effectively resolve grade 1 fatty liver in many cases. Limiting alcohol, reducing sugarrefined carbs, increasing fibre, drinking more water and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol also support liver health.

I'm really concerned about this habit I've developed of inserting my finger into my anus. I did it yesterday, and a couple of hours later, when I did it again, I noticed this slimy, jelly-like stuff on my finger. There's no blood, pain, or any other symptoms, but this always seems to happen when I do it again soon after the first time. Is this slime supposed to be there? Does the fingering cause it? I've read online that other people who've done anal fingering have noticed it too, so is it always present? I really want to stop this habit, and I'm feeling worried. Please guide me on what to do.
Rabies Vaccination and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) _Timing of Vaccination_ 1. _Immediate vaccination recommended_: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends immediate vaccination after exposure to rabies, ideally within 24-48 hours. 2. _Vaccination during incubation period_: If vaccination is administered during the incubation period (before symptoms appear), it can still be effective in preventing rabies. _Your Situation_ 1. _Delayed vaccination_: You received vaccinations 6-7 years after the initial exposure. 2. _Multiple vaccinations_: You have taken a total of 17 vaccinations from 2008-2016. _Reassurance and Recommendations_ 1. _Low risk of rabies_: Given the long incubation period and the fact that you have not shown any symptoms, the risk of rabies is low. 2. _No need for further vaccinations_: You have already received multiple vaccinations, and further vaccinations are unlikely to provide additional benefits. 3. _Consult a doctor for reassurance_: Schedule a consultation with a doctor or a rabies expert to discuss your concerns and receive reassurance. 4. _Address anxiety and depression_: Consider seeking professional help to manage your anxiety and depression related to the fear of rabies.

I've been dealing with constant pain around my chest ribs and lower stomach for the past 15 days. On top of that, my throat hurts, and swallowing food and liquids is difficult. What could be causing all this? Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?
