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?

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 struggling with bloating for a while now, and I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently fix this or if it's something I'm going to have to deal with forever. Also, when it comes to seeking medical advice, should I be consulting an Ayurveda specialist or a gastroenterologist? I'm really not sure which direction to take and would love some guidance.

I'm experiencing some discomfort with itching and occasionally a burning sensation after I pass stool, which lasts for a few hours before it settles down. But the itching tends to come and go. I've been using Betadine cream on my anus, and it seems to provide some relief. Is it safe for me to keep doing this, or should I be considering something else? Could you provide some guidance on this?

I'm really worried about my friend. She had quite a bit to drink last night like 6 vodka shots and a few whiskies. She vomited then, which seemed like just from drinking too much. But now, it's the next day and she can't keep any food down. Whenever she tries to eat, she pukes it all up. She insists she's okay, but it's really concerning. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be serious?

Your friend may be experiencing symptoms of alcohol poisoning, which can be very serious. Since she is unable to keep any food down since this morning, it is important to seek medical help immediately. She may need intravenous fluids to rehydrate and medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Please take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.
