I've been dealing with chest pain and my doctor recommended an ultrasound of my whole abdomen. They found that my liver is enlarged, measuring 156 mm. Could you tell me what the normal size for a healthy human liver should be?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The normal size of a human liver is approximately 120-150 mm. In your case, with a measurement of 156 mm, it indicates hepatomegaly or an enlarged liver. This could be due to various reasons such as fatty liver, hepatitis, or other underlying medical conditions. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this issue where my stomach starts hurting right after meals, and I feel like I have to run to the bathroom with really loose stools. I tried taking Gut OK for like a week, but it didn't help at all. What could be going on here? Should I try something else or maybe get checked out?
Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking Imodium to help with your loose stools and stomach discomfort. Imodium is an over-the-counter medication that can help control diarrhea. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

My wife had acute gall stone pancreatitis back in 2014 and got her gallbladder removed. All her blood tests and USG reports came back normal, but she still gets really bad leg pain at night and in the mornings. She also has loose motions once a week with a burning feeling in her stomach. Could these issues be related to her past condition or is something else going on?
It's possible that your wife's symptoms could be related to her past history of acute gallstone pancreatitis and gallbladder removal, even if her blood tests and USG are normal. However, it's also important to rule out other potential causes, especially if the symptoms are significant or persistent.
