Question 1

I'm looking at some of my recent blood work results, and I'm a bit unsure about what they mean. My total bilirubin level is 1.6, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 1.3. Everything else in my liver tests came back normal, but I'm still concerned if these bilirubin numbers could indicate any health issues. Could you help me understand if there's anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, primarily due to indirect bilirubin. This could indicate mild liver function changes, hemolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome if you feel well otherwise. Monitor symptoms and consult a doctor for further evaluation if needed.

Question 2

I'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?

Accepted Answer

continue the same medication

Question 3

I've been noticing that I'm experiencing a bunch of issues like hair fall, fatigue, weak bones, frequent urination, and even lower back and stomach pain. I used to masturbate a lot, and I think this might be related. I'm currently seeing an Ayurvedic doctor but since last night, I've started having headaches and more stomach problems, like I can't digest food properly. Every time I eat, I feel the urge to use the washroom and my stomach hurts. My bones feel so weak that I can't lift anything without them starting to hurt. What do you think could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

There is no such relation between your habbit and symptoms that you face, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
