My ultrasound showed a thickened gallbladder wall with a 15mm polyp and a few small calculi. The doctor prescribed antibiotic drips twice a day for infection, but my stomach feels bloated like there's air inside. Is this serious? Can it be treated with just meds or will I need surgery?

It's important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your concerns and the treatment plan, as they will have the most accurate information about your specific situation. While a thickened gallbladder wall, a 15mm polyp, and small calculi (gallstones) are concerning, they don't necessarily mean immediate surgery is needed. The 15mm polyp does increase the risk of malignancy, and polyps larger than 10mm are often recommended for removal. Your doctor's decision about treatment will depend on several factors, including the size and type of polyp, the presence of gallstones, and whether you are experiencing symptoms

I'm really worried about my liver enzyme levels since my SGPT is at 184 and SGOT is 67. I've been on Udiliv 300 for the past three months, but it doesn't seem to be helping because the enzymes have gone up. My fasting blood sugar is at 100, and I'm also low on Vitamin D at 26. What do you suggest I do next?

Seems like your liver enzymes are still elevated despite taking Udiliv 300. I recommend adding Liv 52 DS to help improve liver function. You can take 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, you can consider adding Vitamin E supplement to support liver health. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I've been having some trouble with my digestion for a couple of months. It feels like my stool isn't getting cleared properly. After eating dinner, my stomach feels really heavy and I start forming a lot of gas. It's even starting to feel like my stomach is getting inflated. I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be causing this. Could you give me some insight?

Can a chronic anal fissure heal on its own or with medication or is surgery always necessary What foods should I avoid to help it heal faster

While many anal fissures heal on their own with conservative treatment, chronic fissures may require medication or even surgery. Avoiding spicy foods, nuts, and processed foods can help reduce inflammation and aid in healing.
