(1) In general hypoechoic lesion worst than hyperechoic?(2) I've been taking supplements such as Vit-D (2000IU almost 4 times a week), NAC and Zinc (once in a while) to avoid Covid based on what i've read. I also take whey protein/collagen at times for recovery after the run/weights. I've been reading taking too much protein or anti-oxidants can also cause cancer? Please comment if anti-oxidants can actually cause reverse damage?(3) I know ultrasound is safe in general, but what are your comments/thoughts on heat on the organs if i go for scan once every year. The radiologist scanned 15 minutes on my liver which was bit too much IMO(4) Would you recommend me to go for MRI? I know MRI are safe (no radiation), but again those Radio Frequency, no one knows how it impacts us in the long run?As you can read, i am anxious and hypochondriac. Would love to read your thoughts and comments.PS - Scan if you want to see https://imgur.com/a/GofAWbX

Hypoechoic is generally better and a cyst, but it depends on the actual look and situation. Hemangiomas are benign.Antioxidants seem to help, but there's not enough knowledge to say how much. (Maybe my own knowledge). That being said, antioxidants don't negate bad habits like smoking, alcohol, etc. Better diets and habits are the main way to reverse damage. There's a lot of literature easily found regarding epithelial oxidative injury. Too much anything seems to be bad. Water, protein, oxygen, etc etc.Ultrasound is considered safe. It is used on babies' brains if that helps you feel better.You should get an MRI if the impression on your scan says that the lesions need that kind of evaluation.
Internist advised to go to hospital for nutrition but when?Hello,22year old female who has been vomiting for the past 13 days. Was referred to an internist. He has referred me to a gastroenterologist.The internist was concerned about my nutrition intake and told me I may have to go to the hospital for some type of supplemental nutrition. I asked him when but he was vague about it, and said I would feel shitty.Well, Ive felt shitty for a while, and was wondering at one point I would need to go for some type of supplemental nutrition. Have been vomiting all food for 13 days, and some fluids. Have lost weight (do not have a scale), but clothes are loose, and I track my calories and last week averaged 150 cals and this week averaged 300.I did have to pick up a prescription today and discussed it with the pharmacist who advised me to go, but I was hoping I could also get a doctors opinion since I would prefer not to go to the hospital if I do not have to.Thanks!
I would go today. 300 calories a day is not sustainable and your *body will be taking damage from that.
