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 allSo I've been dealing with high SGPT and SGOT levels ever since I had jaundice about four months ago. They're still about 1.5 times the normal limit, and while my doctor mentioned they'll get better on their own, I'm a bit worried. I've got a pre-employment medical test coming up, and I'm wondering if this will be a problem. I don't drink or smoke, but I do cycle three times a week for half an hour and practice pranayama. Should I be concerned about my exercise routine affecting my liver enzyme levels?
Cycling and pranayama are generally beneficial for overall health. You do not need to stop exercising unless specifically advised by your doctor. However, it may be helpful to avoid intense or strenuous exercise that could potentially strain your liver. If you are looking to further support your liver health, you may consider taking a liver-protective medication like Liv.52, which contains natural ingredients that help improve liver function. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also aid in liver recovery.

I'm kind of worried because, for the last couple of days, every time I go to the bathroom, there's been a lot of mucus in my stool. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?
This could be a sign of inflammation in your intestines. I recommend taking a probiotic like "Align" once a day to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. Additionally, you can try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Mesalamine to reduce inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a diet high in fiber to help with bowel movements. If the symptoms persist, consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
