Suggest Treatment For Red Spots, Freckles And Severe Pain In Abdomen

default
Posted on Mon, 16 Feb 2015
Question: Hi I am trying to find out why I have red sopts, freckles, like liver spots but red, in conjunction with insluin spikes, brain fog, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, gallstone, vaginal fistula to urethra, cholon episode in October (which caused me terrible pain (almost passed out) and abdominal muscles hurt for a week, after which eventually caused my abdomine to become distended with gas). Could this all be caused by one condition? I don't think I have jaundice, or other dominent liver dysfunction signs but I did find that the red frecklers could indication liver dysfunction. I had two spots all my life and within the last year or two I have countless dots all over my stomach, legs and arms. It is not a rash. Oh in addition to the gallstone I am overweight 217 lbs and 5'9".

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I have read your question carefully and appreciate your concern

Diabetes should be screened by performing Fasting blood sugar and HBA1C levels. Liver function should not be based solely upon physical exam manifestations. An Ultrasound should be done to look for any gross texture changes and any evidence of portal hypertension or obstruction in the biliary tract. Liver function tests along with Bilirubin , Albumin, Pro thrombin levels should be checked for ensuring that the synthetic ability of the liver is intact. Hepatitis profile should also be done. Bilirubin levels if high would present as jaundice on the physical. The skin lesions associated with liver disease are known as spider nevi and appear as part of chronic liver disease. The GERD , dyspepsia symptoms along with gall stones, if present with diabetes present a strong indication for cholecystectomy, to remove the gall bladder to avoid further complications. There isn't one single cause responsible for all of the symptoms but correlations exist between some, for example, the high cholesterol can be related with the gall stone formation but has nothing to do with the fistula, which is an anatomical problem. Please consult your doctor before deciding any course of action.

Let me know if you have any query.

wishing you best of health
