Question

I've just had a liver function test done and noticed that my SGPT level is at 81, which I understand is higher than the usual range. I'm trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this and if it means I need to start taking any medication. Could this possibly be related to my weight, or might something else be causing it?

An SGPT level of 81 above the normal range can indicate liver damage or inflammation. It is important to further investigate the cause of this elevation. In your case, obesity can contribute to liver issues. To address this, you can start with lifestyle modifications such as weight loss through diet and exercise.

I'm dealing with a bit of a stomach issue. I usually need to go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times a day, but if I can't go in the afternoon, I end up feeling gassy and my stomach feels hot by the evening. How can I make sure my stomach stays clear so I don't have these problems anymore?

Question

I'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?

Question

I'm going through a tough time dealing with GERD for the past three years, and I've been on Razo D daily. Whenever it gets worse, I pop a few Ulgel A. I'm starting to worry if it's okay to keep using them over the long haul. Are Razo D and Ulgel A safe to use like this for a long period?
