Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Your ultrasound scan abdomen shows diffuse fatty liver. There are many causes of liver showing fatty changes as given below
(i) Increased intake of fatty foods and alcohol
(ii) Over weight and obese patients.
(iii) Those who have fatty liver running in family members.
(iv) Any liver condition that is changing appearance of liver.
(v) Mild fatty liver can also be there in many normal people
2. It is important to do liver function test and know if there is any problem in liver which is causing your fatty liver.
It is advised that you get following tests done
(i) liver function tests including SGPT, SGOT, Alkaline phosphatase, GGT, total direct and indirect bilirubin and proteins
(ii) lipid profile test to know if you have elevated cholesterol levels
(iii) random blood sugar level
If the above liver function test, lipid profile and blood sugar are normal then there is no need to consult gastroenterologist.
3. If you have any cause like alcohol intake and eating fatty foods then please control them.
4. Homeopathy and allopathy are two different systems of medicine. Many people choose to get treated by homeopathy. It is important to do the above tests and if if the results are abnormal then I will suggest allopathy medicine. Till then you might take homeopathy medicine under recommendation of your doctor.
5. Many people have fatty liver without any disease and it is in their family. This group of patients do not require treatment. However some patients might have fatty liver due to liver problem and in most of them the condition is curable with medicine and low fat diet.
6. The prostatomegaly is enlargement of the prostate which is located at the base of urinary bladder and is a common condition after 60 years of age in men. This causes obstruction and increased frequency of urine. Your prostate is enlarged significantly and you should consult urologist for medicine. Please also get PSA blood test done.
7. There is no kidney stone mentioned in the report.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Dr.Vivek
