-It's important to seek medical attention immediately after swallowing a stapler pin, as it could cause injury or blockages. Your health should be the priority, so it's best to go to the hospital right away and reschedule your exam if needed.

View allI'm 30 and have been dealing with a gastric problem for the past 6 months. My endoscopy shows acute fundal erosion, and the ultrasound points to changes in the liver, saying I have a fatty liver. I'm taking medication, but I'm not seeing any improvement. What should I do? Can you offer any suggestions or treatments?
For your gastric issue with fundal erosion, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Maalox to help with symptoms. For your fatty liver, you can try a medication like Ursodiol to improve liver function and reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol to improve your liver health. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Why do I keep getting anal fissures even after LIS surgery? I'm vegetarian and careful with my diet but still get fissures from just one episode of hard stool caused by antibiotics. Others pass hard stool without issues, but my small anus seems prone to tearing - is that the real cause?
It's understandable why you're concerned about recurring anal fissures despite LIS surgery, even with a seemingly healthy diet. While your small anus might be a contributing factor, it's important to consider other potential reasons for continued fissures, like the specific trauma caused by hard stools, even in a vegetarian, and underlying sphincter issues

I recently had some routine blood work, and my liver function test showed that my direct bilirubin is a bit high. My total bilirubin is at 1.0, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 0.7. The SGPT is 19.8, and SGOT is 22, and all the other liver enzymes came back normal. Should I be worried about my liver? The anxiety is really getting to me.
Based on the lab results, there is no indication of liver failure. The slight elevation in direct bilirubin could be benign and may not be cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing any symptoms or have ongoing concerns, I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and reassurance.
