Had Sex Using Two Condoms. Having Abdominal Pain. Diagnosed Fatty Liver. Connection With Incident With Fatty Liver?
Question: Two years back i have had sex with a provider .I was drunk but used condoms .However instead of using one i used two , which i learnt later is not a good practice.I woke up with rashes on my hand the next dat and started to worry it was hiv.I faced numerous health issues from then, especially pain in right side of abdominal area.I was diagnoised with fatty liver.During this 2 years i was tested for hiv many times , but was negative.These are the findings of tests a week back ,exactly 2 years after the incident
Hiv 1 & 2 – Negative
Hep C – Negative
HbsAg – negative
CT Abdomen scan---- Mild to severe hepatomelagy with fatty infiltration of the liver(Other organs were normal).
Lipid Profile:
LDL Cholestrol – 47
Triglycerides— 100 + above the normal value
LFT---
ALT/SGPT – 114 (max range 67)
AST/SGOT—44 (max range 37)
Is there any relation to that incident and my current health condition?I don’t have any other symptoms except discomfort near the liver area(both front and backsides).I am about to marry in 2 months and want to make sure that i don’t pass anything to my wife.Do i need to get a western blot? What could be the cause of my health status?
Doctor says there is no problem simple excercise and diet should cure it.Is this a serious thing?

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).
I appreciate your concern regarding your health. Elevation in AST and ALT along with CT showing suggest that you are having NAFLD (Non take alcohol. You haven't mentioned about your weight and height I mean to say BMI (Body mass index).
For this what all you have to do is:
1. Daily aerobic exercise and low fat diet
2. If you do take alcohol then stop it
3. If you are obese or overweight do reduce your weight
4. Take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid and capsule evion
I don't think there is any relation with that incident and your health status
Nothing is serious as of now and it will improve also if you follow above advise.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

My height is 5.6 and weight is 70kgs. In CT it is mentioned small volume of mesentic nodes noted?I believe it is lymph node.Should it be a sign of some infection.I got a lump in my armpit 5 days back gone after 3 days.It is a place where lymph nodes are also there.So i am afraid of some infection.
I had the same pain 2 years ago , at that time i just started taking alcohol.For the first 4 times i took alcohol i used to get extremely itchy rashes on my hands.I stopped drinking alcohol then pain went away some how(joined in gym for some time).Then after a year i started drinking again.Very less excercise(almost 0).Pain again came back.I am not obese and not a heavy drinker(only 2 years that too 10-15 times max).
What worries me is a surgical GI told me that mild to sever hepatomelagy is not good , find out cause immediately , consult a medial GI.So i was really worried.
The pain is also on the left side mainly just under the ribs. I read in internet that it will progress to chirossis. It also worries me.Does these excercise will make me normal again?

Hello! thanks for feedback.
Presence of small volume lymph nodes in abdomen may be insignificant if there is no fever, weight loss
Presence of a lump in armpit is little bit worrisome. Was that painful? Has it resolved completely now? If you had any fever?
For this I will advise you to get westernblot for HIV to exclude it completely. And also see for tuberculosis by getting chestxray, montoux test and TB test(Gene expert (SRL Lab)
Your BMI is ok
However still requires daily exercise, low fat diet and above medicine as I advised earlier. Fatty liver disease is reversible if appropriate action is taken timely. However if it persisted for many years yes it may lead to cirrhosis
Wish you a good health

Detailed Answer:
Hello! If you have undergone westernblot earlier then there is no need of getting it repeated. So no need to worry.
Painful lymphnode suggest it was some acute infection which was resolved within few days spontaneously
So it suggest that this is only fatty liver disease and follow the advise I gave earlier part of my answer.
If you do not have any further query , you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you a good health.

Hi ,
I tested for western blot hiv and was negative. I had a Elastography which says the following
---- Fatty Liver Infiltration
---- Normal Stiffness of the the liver parenchyma noted on elastography with few areas showing increased stiffness in segment VIII with ARFI value 0.87 to 2.38mt/sc
and mean value of 1.39 mt/sc.
What does this mean.Increased stiffness means fibrossis or chirossis has started?
Is it getting serious and progressing ?
Should i get tested for any other diseases which may cause this? Ultra sound says Grade 1 fatty liver only.But CT tells liver is enlarged.Recent ultra sound after CT says liver is normal in size.This is all confusing.Can i get rid of all this and become normal again or do i fall in the caterogry of managent of liver for ever in life?
Since i had a lump in arm pit (it grew big i pinched it and puss came out.is it a lymph node then?? ) .Does it indicate any other acute liver diesase?
My friend's brother died of jaundice , which didnot present any symptoms like yellowness of skin etc..Do i have some thing like that?

Hello! Thanks for feedback.
Increased stiffness means fibrosis. However since you have active hepatitis or liver inflammation as suggested by elevation of SGOT and SGPT the value of stiffness may be falsely elevated. So when SGOT and SGPT will be normalized then get a repeat test to see for the stiffness.
You should get tests to see for other causes of elevated SGOT/SGPT like hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, for autoimmune disease (ANA and SMA) and for XXXXXXX disease (S.ceruloplasmin)
For relief you should take treatment as I advised earlier- regular exercise, low fat and low caloric diet, tablet ursodeoxycholic acid and cap evion and quit alcohol
Since there was pus from that lump suggest that it was an abscess and not a lymph node. It does not indicate any liver disease
Till now nothing like serious and things can be cured if you follow the advise

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Evion 400mg is to be taken after at least 2 hours after meals once a day
Early fibrosis is reversible
I don't think so, rather I will not advise for homeopathic medicine but I am sorry for this since I don't have knowledge regarding homeopathic medicine.
