My brother has 10mm gallstones and we're really worried about surgery. Can ursodiol help dissolve them and if so, what's the right dose and how long should he take it? Are there other ways to avoid surgery? Also, which foods should he definitely stay away from?

View allI've been experiencing something weird and it's kinda worrying me. Every time I masturbate, the next day I feel this horrible indigestion and sometimes end up vomiting, plus there's this numb feeling. It's strange because even if my stomach is empty, I still feel like throwing up. And it takes about 4 to 5 days to get back to normal. Does this sound familiar to you or do you know what might be causing this?

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 having this weird fluttering feeling under my left rib cage and I'm not sure what it might be. On top of that, I've been constantly bloated for the past month no matter what I eat or if I don't eat at all. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm dealing with constipation every now and then too. Is there anything I can do to help with this?
It sounds like you might be dealing with digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or possibly even something like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). To ease the symptoms, try eating smaller meals, drinking plenty of water, and considering foods that are easier to digest. If it persists, its a good idea to consult with a doctor for further evaluation.
