Question 1

I recently had an LFT done and I'm a bit concerned about the results. My AST (SGOT) is at 174 UL, my ALT (SGPT) at 296 UL, and GGTP at 46 UL, although all other LFT results are normal. Can you help me understand what might be causing these elevated levels and suggest what kind of treatment I should consider? Also, would a general physician be enough for this, or should I see a liver specialist?

Accepted Answer

consult Nephrologist

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my liver health because my recent blood tests showed SGPT (ALT) levels at 70.2 UL and SGOT (AST) at 58.3 UL. Could this mean I have a fatty liver? If it is, should I be starting any medication for it? Also, are there natural remedies I can try to help with this?

Accepted Answer

Nightfall (nocturnal emission) is a normal phenomenon, especially during adolescence and early adulthood. The frequency you've described (5-7 times a month) is within the normal range.

Regarding your concerns:

_The white sticky liquid_ is likely semen, which contains sperm.

_Masturbation_: It's normal if nothing comes out except urine, as the body may not always produce semen during masturbation.

_Sex with condom_: Using a condom prevents sperm from entering the partner's body, so it's expected that you wouldn't feel sperm coming out.

_Fertility_: Nightfall and masturbation don't affect fertility. As long as you have normal semen production and sperm count, you can father a child.

If you're concerned about your fertility or have questions, consider consulting:

1. A urologist or andrologist (specialists in male reproductive health)
2. A sexologist or a counselor (for guidance on sexual health and relationships)

Remember, it's essential to practice safe sex and use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy.

Question 3

I've been dealing with loose motion for the past two days and even vomited once. I started drinking lemon water and ORS and it really helped. But now I'm feeling a lot of acidity this morning. What do you suggest I do to get rid of this acidity?
