Question 1

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Accepted Answer

Elevated bilirubin (6.2) with normal MRI suggests a non-obstructive cause.

Possible reasons:

- Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
- Liver dysfunction (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)
- Gilbert's syndrome (benign genetic disorder)
- Medication-induced (e.g., certain antibiotics)

Review your blood test report for:

- Liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
- Hemoglobin and hematocrit
- Direct and indirect bilirubin levels

Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized evaluation and guidance.

Question 3

Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?

Accepted Answer

pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a *positive result*.

Here's why:

1. *Two lines indicate pregnancy*: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine.
2. *Faint line may indicate low hCG*: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy.
3. *Test sensitivity*: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test.

To confirm your result:

1. *Retake the test*: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result.
2. *Wait a few days*: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again.
3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

Question 4

I recently had a chest X-ray and it came back saying that there are prominent bilateral hilar shadows. I'm a bit worried and would really like to understand what this means. Could you explain it to me?

Accepted Answer

Bilateral Hilar Shadows being prominent on your chest X-ray typically indicates enlargement or prominence of the lymph nodes in the hilar region of the lungs, which can be caused by various conditions such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or other inflammatory or infectious diseases, and further testing or evaluation by a specialist is usually required to determine the underlying cause.
