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.

View allFound a gallstone about 1.1 cm and my doctor recommends surgery. Can I try natural remedies to flush it out instead? What could happen if I don't get the surgery?
1.1 cm gallstones rarely flush out naturally. If symptomatic, surgery is recommended. Delay can lead to complications like pancreatitis.

I'm worried about my health. My SGPTALAT level is at 47, but I heard the normal range is 10-40. Is this something I should be concerned about? I also experience a lot of gas and occasionally feel like vomiting. Spicy foods seem to trigger some problems for me, and it sometimes forces me to rush to the toilet 3-4 times. Could you please give me some advice on what's happening?

I've been experiencing these sharp, needle-like pains in my chest that come and go within a few seconds. At first, they were on the right side, but now they're also happening on the left and sometimes even under my left arm. This all started after I began having that burping, indigestion feeling last week. I've noticed that physical exercise gives me a bit of relief, but it still feels like maybe there's a burp stuck in my chest or something. Should I be concerned about this?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Maalox. Additionally, you can also try medications like Omeprazole (Prilosec) or Ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. It is important to avoid trigger foods such as spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
