I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?
Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.

I'm a bit worried because I just got my liver function tests back, and it says my SGPT level is 111.4 and SGOT level is 90.17. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Is there something serious going on?
Your SGPT and SGOT levels are elevated, but this doesnt necessarily point to a serious issue. It's important to investigate the cause with your doctor. Early detection and lifestyle changes can often help manage and reverse mild liver dysfunction.
