Is Twitching Sensation In Lower Right Abdomen A Cause For Concern?
Hi, Am 37 and my cholesterol level is 246 (150 normal), SGT 34.3 (34 normal) & SGOT 67 (55 normal) . these are on higher side for past 1 year. weight is 83kgs ..175 cms height. I have been advised to reduce weight but I have slight twitching sensation on my right side of stomach. its not a pain just sensation which is there but I underwent Ultra sound twice and it just deducted fatty liver and nothing else. I consume alcohol occasionally. My question is do I go for CT scan of abdomen and do I start medication for cholesterol or just loose weight and then take a call

Hello,
Twitching sensation in the lower right abdomen may be due to liver enlargement or fatty liver. Alcohol intake will trigger all the liver problems, cut on it. You are diagnosed with fatty liver. High SGOT, SGPT and cholesterol level. You are suggested to do regular walking of at least 2 kms. Stay adequately hydrated. Diet control is a must. Take boiled food for a few months. You can add a little olive oil. Avoid refined flour, carbs and sugars, trans fat, red meat, cheese, fatty food or fatty milk. No spicy or packaged food, no frozen or oily food.
Take fruits, veggies, whole cereals and food that is easily digestible in small amounts. Take small meals 3-4 times a day. Take adequate sleep. Maintain healthy BMI, reduce weight. Cholesterol can be reduced by regular walking, strict diet control and taking home made balanced food regularly. You can take medicines if need be. Take liver tonics & digestives to support your system. Avoid constipation. You can take laxatives at bed time. Take PPI's, one SOS when needed to prevent abdominal discomfort. Yes, you should get all blood work outs, urinalysis, imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) tests done to assess the degree of liver damage so that you can be treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
