I'm really concerned because my father's HSB Ag test came back positive, and we just got his ultrasound results. Most of the findings look okay, but it mentioned that the echotexture of his liver is slightly altered. Should we be worried about that? ...

Accepted Answer

your father's situation:

_HSbAg positive_: Indicates hepatitis B infection.

_Ultrasound results_:

1. _Echotexture alteration_: Suggests mild liver inflammation or fibrosis, common in hepatitis B patients.
2. _Other results okay_: Indicates no significant liver damage or cirrhosis.

_Next steps_:

1. _Consult a hepatologist_: Discuss the ultrasound results and determine the best course of action.
2. _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Regularly monitor LFTs to track liver health.
3. _Viral load test_: Measure the hepatitis B virus's presence in the blood.
4. _Consider antiviral treatment_: If recommended by the hepatologist, antiviral medication can help manage the infection.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been having some pain in my testicles since last night, and I'm also needing to pee a lot, especially at night. Sometimes it's like I have to go every half hour. Is this something I should be worried about?

Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics treat the infection. Follow these tips:

Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria.
Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder.Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.
Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.
