What does it mean if my liver size is normal but there's a mildly increased parenchymal echotexture? Should I be worried, and are there any steps I should take or treatments I should consider?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's essential to address the underlying cause of your stomach bloating and backache. Consider the following steps:
Consult a gastroenterologist to rule out conditions like IBS, SIBO, or gastroparesis. Undergo tests like endoscopy, colonoscopy, or breath tests to identify the underlying cause. Avoid trigger foods, follow a low-FODMAP diet, and consider probiotics to alleviate symptoms. Maintain good posture, exercise regularly, and consider physical therapy to address backache.

View allmy husband has a 2 cm gallbladder stone with multiple calculi and had jaundice but his bilirubin levels are better now can the stones be treated with medicines or does he need surgery
Given the 2 cm gallbladder stone, multiple calculi, and previous jaundice, surgery is likely the best course of action for your husband's gallbladder. While medications can sometimes dissolve cholesterol stones, they are less effective for other types and may not be suitable for large or multiple stones.

I'm really worried because an ultrasound has shown that I have a 6mm gallbladder stone, and there's also an infection. I've been having really bad pain in my abdomen and feeling nauseous all the time. What do you think I should do about it? Is this something I need to urgently take care of, or are there ways to manage this without surgery?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with some reassurance and guidance. _Masturbation and Penis Size_ Masturbation, in itself, does not cause a decrease in penis size or width. However, frequent and aggressive masturbation can lead to: 1. _Desensitization_: Reduced sensitivity due to over-stimulation. 2. _Inflammation_: Mild inflammation or irritation, which can cause temporary swelling or changes in penis size. _Thinning and Shortening of the Penis_ The thinning and shortening you've observed could be due to various factors, such as: 1. _Normal fluctuations_: Penis size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, and overall health. 2. _Erectile dysfunction_: Infrequent or inconsistent erections can cause the penis to appear smaller. 3. _Peyronie's disease_: A condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue, leading to curvature or shortening of the penis. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hormone imbalances, can affect penis size. _What to Do_ To alleviate your concerns: 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your concerns and rule out any underlying medical conditions. 2. _Reduce masturbation frequency_: Try to reduce your masturbation frequency to 2-3 times a week to give your penis time to recover. 3. _Practice gentle masturbation techniques_: Avoid aggressive or rough handling of your penis during masturbation. 4. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management to promote overall health and well-being.
