I'm dealing with a phimosis issue that I've had since birth. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Should I consider steroids or is surgery the better option? I'm based in Bangalore, so any local recommendations would be great too. What would you suggest?

Elevated SGOT (120) and SGPT (222) levels indicate liver stress, likely exacerbated by alcohol consumption. To reduce liver enzyme levels: Abstain from alcohol completely. Consider medications like: Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation. Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance and monitoring.
