My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?

greetings. PTT,PT are raised thatis clotting time will be increased. It must be dueto liver problem, some hepatitis, or liver damage due to alcohol r NFLIVER damage. Please ask the hematologists. Though hernia is minor and short operation, but still ask hematologists

I've had small lymph nodes enlarged all over my body for almost 1.75 years near my ears, neck, under my jaw, armpits, and groin. The doctors at CMC Vellore checked my blood work and abdominal ultrasound, said everything's normal, and told me to come back only if the nodes grow bigger. But my armpit nodes keep hurting, and I can feel them constantly. I've seen multiple doctors in Kolkata, but no one has a solution. What should I do? The pain and the constant awareness of these nodes are really bothering me, and I also have a retracted eardrum. Could these be connected?

Given the persistent, unexplained swollen lymph nodes, persistent pain in the armpit nodes, and retracted eardrum, you should seek a second opinion from a specialist, possibly a hematologist or immunologist, to investigate further. A detailed assessment may be needed to determine the cause of your symptoms, including a thorough examination of your lymph nodes, a detailed history of your symptoms, and potentially additional testing like an MRI or a lymph node biopsy.
