Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Aug of 2008, I had a full body massage. He really did a sever massage on my stomach. Since then I started getting semi solid or loose stool but not diarrhea. this become severe in last few weeks. But I go 3-4 times a day. Stool is slightly dark but loose. I also have acid reflex and take pills as needed. for last 7 years. Any thoughts?Took Antibiotic prescribed by the doctor few times but did not work. One doctor said this could be due to liver enlargement. I took medication. It seems to be okay during the medication period of a month. After that problem came back. Untra sound showed my liver was normal.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Usually liver enlargement may indicate some types of hepatitis or fatty liver diseases and in most cases it doesnt require any specific treatment. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. You need to check your viral markers and do liver biopsy if necessary. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
