I had a kidney biopsy done a couple years ago, and I was terrified going in. But it turned out to be a breeze. Tell your doctor in advance that you are afraid, and also talk ahead of time to the lab that will be taking the sample. When I had mine done, they gave me two different IV drugs (Versed was one, can't remember the other) to put me into a twilight-sleep, and I didn't feel anything at all. So ask the doctor and the lab if you can have something that will help calm you down, and so that you won't be fully awake during the actual procedure. \n\nMost important of all (for me, anyway), was to have my husband there with me during the procedure. It's comforting to have a loved one right there with you, to hold your hand, to ask questions you might not think of asking, and it also helps to have that extra pair of ears there to hear everything you are told - believe me, when it's happening to you, everything they say tends to go in one ear and right out the other. Ask if you can bring someone with you - your spouse/significant other, parent, best friend, whoever's presence would make you feel better.\n\n(For my kidney biopsy, they inserted a long needle-like tube in through my back, using ultrasound to guide them to position it properly, then the biopsy needle was inserted through that to retrieve the samples. I don't know if a liver biopsy procedure would be the same, but I imagine it would be close....)\n\nGood luck! You'll be fine, and lots of people will be pulling for you. {{{hugs}}}

A good healthy eating life style, foods rich in Vitamin B,and milk thisle. There are good liver tonics especially if you drink alcohol. If you are worried about your liver, you can have an ultra sound done to make sure it's healthy.\nLots of water, as the liver removes toxins.

You sound so scared so lets see if we cant help you a little, first dont panic i know but please this makes you ill and your sytoms worse which may well be the case right now.The truth is the risk of aids  is low and the only way to know is a test. Yes scary but it will put an end to all of this. In your phone book there will be a number of a clinic the nhs is your in the uk has private test centres within the hospital they have councilors who can talk to you can tell you of the risks. And help you deal with what is happening and how you feel, it will help. While at the clinic they will also run other test at the same time so then you will know for sure. At this point i will tell you that if you have std it can and will be treated it is not the end of the world, just a huge learning curve for you. Also remember having a cold or flu does not mean that you are ill with anything else, it may of just knocked you side ways and took alittle longer to run its course and you were travelling as well, so your body have of slowed down. There is only one thing to do and that is call your hospital, no one has to know and you dont even have to be called your real name when you get there and no one has to know, but you need to go and get checked out. Remember it may be nothing, it does not sound like hiv or aids, the chances are so so remote and if its std you can be treated. Take care and good luck.

You could have an anal tear that may need a doctors help. I have bled there before and had to see a digestive specialist. See a doctor ASAP. Not to scare you but it could be a sign of cancer. This is why I saw my doctor as soon as it started.

Don't want to scare you but that can be a sign of something pretty serious. You don't have any choice about this you MUST go to a doctor.\n\nedit: I didn't want to mention it in case it scared you, but well... a permanent bruise can be one of the first indications of leukaemia so you should see a doctor and get that ruled out just to be on the safe side..

It's perfectly normal to be afraid of surgery, especially in a case like this. I suggest thinking about how you would feel if you didn't do it and your father died when you knew you could help him. It's okay to be afraid as long as you don't let fear control you.

Yes, my wife died of liver cancer 2 years ago, It is the most painful way to die too. The blisters are common, so is edema in the feet hands, and back. The liver becomes really swollen, and Doctors call that asides fluid, and you start to bleed internally, and become incontinent.\n\nI wish you and your family the very best of luck.

Go to the Doctor immediately! Blood from any area that is not expected is not a good thing to not get checked out.

It's normal to have that kind of fear. Many people have been there....just realize that not all doctors are the same. Doctors are people that we should be  confident in and have trust in. Maybe before your procedure with a new doctor, talk to him/her and let them know that you had a bad experience and they will understand. They generally sit and talk to you about and they will talk you through whatever procedure it is.

Go to an emergency room if you can't see your doctor today.\n\nBlood in the stool is VERY serious. Not to scare you - but it could mean lots of things - things that need attention so they don't become more serious. Treat this today!!!\n\nSave yourself some time, and take a sample with you - put a small amount in a tupperware or baggy. Tell them when you first noticed it and have a general record of your diet to tell them as well.

Don't be scared. Your hormones are out of wack. You need to see a doctor. They will probably do a blood test. It doesn't hurt.

I DON'T WANNA SCARE YOU AND TELL YOU THAT IT MIGHT BE CANCER BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE HEAR THE WORD LUMP THAT'S WHAT WE ALL START TO THINK. IT COULD BE A ULCER, OR IT COULD BE ANYTHING NONE OF US HAVE GIVING YOU X-RAY'S SO THERE FORE WE WOULD NOT KNOW TRY AND GET SOME X-RAYS BECAUSE THIS CAN SEE YOUR ORGANS AND INSIDE OF YOUR BONES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS AND YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL BETTER AND MY BEST WISHES ARE WITH YOU.
