Question 1

What's going on with my liver function test results? I just got them back and my bilirubin levels are elevatedtotal is at 1.71, direct is 0.32, and indirect is 1.39. I've also been having this nagging pain on the right side of my lower abdomen, especially after eating a heavy meal. It's been like this for about a month. Should I be worried? Do I need any meds or more tests?

Finding a blood-red worm in your stool can be alarming.

*Possible Causes*

1. *Hookworms*: These parasites can cause intestinal bleeding, leading to anemia.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist.
2. *Stool test*: Your doctor will likely order a stool test to confirm the presence of parasites and identify the type.
3. *Treatment*: Depending on the type of parasite, your doctor may prescribe antiparasitic medication.
4. *Iron supplementation*: Continue taking your iron syrup to manage your anemia.

*Precautions*

1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom.
2. *Cleanliness*: Keep your living environment clean, including your bathroom and kitchen.
3. *Avoid contaminated food and water*: Be cautious when consuming food and water, especially in areas with poor sanitation.

To remove the scars left from jock itch, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, which helps lighten dark spots on the skin. You can apply a cream like Mederma or Bio-Oil twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, using a silicone gel sheet like ScarAway can also help reduce the appearance of scars.

Accepted Answer

It's concerning that you're experiencing vaginal bleeding during every workout, especially if it's been happening more frequently. This could be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even physical strain. I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions and get a proper diagnosis.
