Shoulder Blade Pain After Liver Pus Operation Treatment
Sir, there was pus in my liver, then I got the treatment done in LIBS hospital and they removed the pus through operation, then I got cured but there is pain in my right shoulder blade and on the opposite chest side too, I went through the operation. When I asked the doctor after two months, he said that it might be due to gas, but I still have pain in the shoulder blade.

The pus was successfully removed from your liver. However, you still have pain in your right shoulder blade and chest. Sometimes, gas can get trapped in the body after surgery, causing discomfort. However ongoing pain in these areas could also be a sign of muscle strain or inflammation. It’s important to inform your doctor so they can investigate further and find ways to relieve the pain.

Can I Cure HBV at 42?
I am 42 years old I have HBV and I want medicine to cure.how can I get your consultation
Dr. Gaurav Gupta

Answered on 21st Aug '24
HBV is a viral infection that can cause liver damage. Possible signs are weariness, jaundice (yellow skin or eyes), and abdomen discomfort. This virus is transmitted through direct contact with blood or fluids from an infected person. Medication can help to control the virus, but no cure is available. I suggest visiting a hepatologist if you want to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Why is my total bilirubin 2.9 mgs/dil?
My total bilirubin is 2.9 mgs/Dil, Direct bilirubin is 1.4 mgs/dil
Dr. Gaurav Gupta

Answered on 21st Aug '24
When blood total bilirubin levels are high, the chances are that the liver or gallbladder is not functioning properly. However, direct bilirubin may tell that it is a liver problem in processing bile. This may arise from infections, liver diseases, or blockages in the bile ducts. It is vital to consult with a hepatologist about these results to find the most agreeable treatment for you.

Hepatitis B is a virus that mainly affects the liver. Tiredness, jaundice (yellow skin), and stomach pain are some possible causes. Your fiancée has been treated and it is generally safe to have sex, but it is important to use protection such as condoms to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.

Liver cirrhosis can bring itching, low energy, fewer platelets, and protein troubles. Those issues happen when damaged livers can't do their jobs right across your body. It's key to treat those symptoms closely and regularly check your condition. A good lifestyle, proper diet, and listening to your hepatologist can boost your overall wellness.

I've been dealing with a complex set of symptoms that have persisted and worsened over the years, and I'm hoping to get your advice on how to move forward. Here’s an overview: - I've had flu-like symptoms for 23 years, which now occur 4-5 times a week. - I experience severe breathing issues, with some episodes lasting up to 9 weeks. - I have constant and aggressive eczema on my legs and abdomen, frequent abscess eruptions, and persistent joint pain. - I also struggle with severe intestinal cramps, alternating between diarrhea and constipation, eye and hearing issues, and clubbing of my fingers. - Additionally, I have a known Hepatitis B infection. Despite being regularly prescribed antibiotics, which only provide temporary relief, my symptoms continue to get worse. These issues are severely affecting my daily life.

Your symptoms suggest a complex and multi-system health issue that requires thorough evaluation. The combination of respiratory problems, skin conditions, gastrointestinal symptoms, and chronic hepatitis B infection indicates that you might be dealing with an underlying autoimmune or systemic condition. Consult with a rheumatologist for a comprehensive assessment, as they specialize in autoimmune and systemic inflammatory disorders. Additionally, a hepatologist for your Hepatitis B management and a dermatologist for your skin conditions would be essential to get a holistic treatment plan.

Is my FibroScan result of kpa 8.8 dangerous?
Hi I got a fibroscan done and the kpa was 8.8 and the cap was 325 I was wondering how dangerous it is and can it be reversed
Dr. Gaurav Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterology
Answered on 11th Aug '24
A fibroscan result with a kPa of 8.8 and a cap of 325 points towards liver issues. This can happen due to fatty liver, infections, or excessive drinking. Symptoms include tiredness, swelling in the belly, and yellow skin. To reverse it, focus on a healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding alcohol. Regular visits to a liver specialist will ensure that progress is monitored.

Jaundice is a disorder that affects the color of your skin, making it look yellow, and your eyes, which make them look yellow. Symptoms include yellow skin and eyes, dark urine, and tiredness. Jaundice can be the result of liver ailments like liver inflammation, and hepatitis. A good way to help it is to drink lots of water and eat healthy foods. Get a lot of rest. Steer clear of the alcohol and fatty foods that are so often consumed. Ensure that you see a hepatologist for proper treatment.
