Usually, the upper limit of ALT is 35 - 40 U/L. Moderate increase in ALT (such as 70 U/L) is seen in chronic hepatitis, chronic obstruction of bile ducts, heart damage, alcohol abuse, liver tumor, skeletal muscle damage. In any acute liver conditions, ALT is much more elevated.

Question

I've been diagnosed with pelvic floor dyssynergia and my doctor recommended biofeedback therapy. Is there an effective Ayurvedic treatment for this condition? I'm open to either surgery or medicine but want to know what works best.

Question

I'm really worried because my histopathological report for a tuberculosis ultrasound-guided biopsy came back negative, but my CT scan shows I have enlarged lymph nodes and tuberculosis. I've been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for over three months, but I'm not seeing any improvement. My abdominal pain is getting worse, especially in the upper abdomen. Could it be something else? The biopsy was negative for cancer, and Buscopan injections don't relieve the pain at all. Only Tramadol helps. What could be causing such severe pain, and are there any tests that could help figure this out? Someone mentioned a capsule endoscopy - could that be useful?

Question

I'm really concerned because I have to pass stool at least 6 times a day. It's not like I'm having loose motions or anything, but every time I feel stuffed, I get this intense urge to go. It's getting really frustrating and I just want it to stop. Ideally, going twice a day would feel a lot more normal. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on or how I could address it?
