My mom just had some tests done and her SPGT ALT in liver function came back at 56. I'm really trying to understand what this means. Should we be taking any specific steps or actions moving forward?

I'm dealing with a severe piles issue with bleeding, swelling, pain, and a burning sensation. Bowel movements are really difficult, and I have to strain a lot. I read that thuthi keerai might help treat piles, but I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby is it safe to take right now? I don't want surgery, just some temporary relief since I can't pass stool normally. What can I do to manage this?
To manage severe piles while breastfeeding, prioritize gentle relief strategies. Focus on fiber-rich foods and stool softeners to ease bowel movements, and consider topical treatments like witch hazel or aloe vera for pain and swelling. Sitz baths and ice packs can also provide temporary relief. Avoid straining and long toilet sessions, and consult your doctor or a lactation consultant regarding the safety of any specific medications or herbal remedies while breastfeeding
