View allSure, I came across my medical report and it mentions terms like "marginally enlarged", "diffusely increased echogenicity", and "small hypoechoic sol with irregular wall" in my liver. There's also something about "tiny cystic changes" and a similar "smaller sol" at the left lobe. I'm really anxious about what all of this means. Are these findings something to be concerned about, and what kind of follow-up or action should I take?
The ultrasound report suggests that you have two liver lesions: a 46mm x 25mm x 29mm hypoechoic solid mass with irregular walls and tiny cystic changes in the right lobe, and a smaller 21mm x 15mm x 19mm solid mass in the left lobe; these findings may indicate benign liver lesions, such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia, but further evaluation, such as a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan, and consultation with a hepatologist or radiologist are necessary to determine the nature and significance of these lesions.

I've been having this pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a week. At first, I thought it might just be gas pains and noticed I've been a bit constipated, so I took some stool softeners. But now, my stool has turned a light clay color. I read somewhere that this could be linked to gallstones. I tried to find out if the stool color change might be due to the stool softeners, but I couldn't find much information. Should I be worried and see a doctor right away, or should I wait to see if it continues?
Light clay-colored stool can indicate several possibilities: Common Causes 1. Stool softeners (as you suspected) 2. Malabsorption (e.g., lactose intolerance, celiac disease) 3. Bile duct obstruction (unlikely with stool softeners) 4. Gastrointestinal infections (e.g., giardiasis) 5. Medication side effects (e.g., antibiotics, antacids) When to Seek Medical Attention 1. Persistent or worsening abdominal pain 2. Diarrhea or vomiting 3. Blood in stool or vomit 4. Fever above 101.5F (38.6C) 5. Significant weight loss 6. Persistent clay-colored stool beyond 2 weeks SELF CARE 1. Continue stool softeners only if prescribed. 2. Monitor stool color, consistency, and frequency. 3. Maintain a balanced diet. 4. Stay hydrated.

I've been noticing a lot of blood before my stool lately and I'm pretty concerned. What could this mean? Is it something I need to worry about?
