PLZ HELP..i need serious advice...?
Question:
Answers:
If the doctor told you that your liver is swelling or enlarging,
there are a few things to consider:
It may be inflammation. Inflammation of the liver can be
treated with drugs to reduce this. It is best to be started on
them as soon as the doctor is sure what is causing this
swelling.
If the inflammation stays in the liver for a long period without
being treated, it can eventually turn into the death of the
liver cells...this is known as cirrhosis. This prevents blood
from flowing through the liver like it once did, because the
dead cells leads to scar tissue forming. This is a very
serious disease.
The best thing to do now, is to stop doing anything that
may effect the liver: alcohol abuse, taking drugs you are
not sure will harm the liver (accept drugs your doctor told
you to take), if your liver is diagnosed as being a fatty liver...diet may help. Tylenol for headaches is not good
to take especially with alcohol. There has been warning
that tylenol itself can cause problems with the liver if
taken in larger quanitites than a person should..yet,
some people may have a higher sensitivity to them than others have.
What causes inflammation of the liver cells can be any
number of things: alcohol abuse, drugs that are toxic
to the liver, using chemicals and being around chemicals
where you work..(like carbon tetrachloride), something
blocking the tube like structures that allow the bile to
flow from the liver to the intestines( like a stone forming
or the bile ducts being twisted or mal formed),
hereditary disease and virus or hepatitis conditions,
and a number of other things.
I would continue to check with your doctor and have blood
work done. He will know from that, what may be happening
with your liver. I would try to eat well, make sure the
doctor knows all medication you are taking...whether they
be herbal teas, herbs, or over the counter meds... and follow any thing he may tell you.
I do not want to scare you...but I am placing a link here
about cirrhosis: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/index.htm...
I am not placing it here because I think you have it...just
so you can see what may happen if the cells of the
liver start to die. You may look at the symptoms here and
see if you have any of them yourself.
I wish you the best and hope that the doctor can get this
under control for you. It has been proven, that if this
is caught early enough...many people have healed from
it. Stopping those things I mentioned above is a very
good start in reversing the process, if any of them involve
you.
From your blood work, the doctor can tell if there may be
damage to the liver, it will also tell them how the liver
is functioning to help the body perform well. The best
test to have done for the liver, if the blood work doesn't
show what may be going on is a liver biopsy. They will
numb the area and you can have a sedative and they
will take a sample of the liver, usually through the rib
cage on the right side. It only takes a few minutes.
It may not be needed in your case. They can also do
other tests that will show them on film what may be
happening like an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI...
this is like having an Xray done...it doesn't hurt at
all.
I know the wait is very hard, we went through it, but try to stay as calm as you can.
Yes it is a serious disease.Consult the doctor immediatly
GO TO THE DOCTOR !
Yes, it's very bad. I know it can be caused by too much alcohol or taking too many pills like Tylenol and Motrin, but you can't look online for a remedy to something like that. It's a serious medical condition, you need to see a doctor.
Any abnormality is bad.
There is no medicine for almost all non-infectious diseases/painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Put SOUTH pole of a strong round magnet on liver site for 20 mins daily till your problem is over.
