My father just got his hepatitis B report positive for the first time - he's 59 with HBsAg 300, anti-HBc 11.93, and anti-HBc IgM negative. The test was done before his eye surgery and he has no symptoms right now. Since we can't visit the hospital easily due to COVID, what should be our next steps?

I'm really worried because my SGOT level is 120 and my SGPT level is 222, which I know are really high. I'm an alcoholic, so I'm concerned about how this is affecting my health. What kind of medication or treatment would you suggest for someone in my situation?

Don't worry, penis size is a common concern. Average penis size is around 5-6 inches in length and 4-5 inches in girth. Your height doesn't directly correlate with penis size. There are no proven methods to significantly increase penis size. Focus on overall health and wellness, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. Consult a healthcare professional or a urologist for personalized advice and reassurance.
