What Causes Elevated Bilirubin Levels While On Atorvastatin?

Last October of 2015, My bloodwork came back with a Cholesterol level of 205 and Bilirubin of 1.5. My doctor put me on 10mg of Atorvastatin daily. Last week my bloodwork shows a score of 2.5, and increase of 1.0. I didn t realize until I came home and went to file my paperwork that I read the report. I am wondering if it would be safer to take something other than Atorvastatin with the same results without compromising my liver.

I am suspecting that you may have inguinal hernia , that leads to this type of pain . constipation is one of the risk factor for development of hernia. I can suggest you to get done sonogram of abdomen and pelvis along with scrotum , to check for hernia and hydrocele . if you have any of those conditions you have to undergo surgery for that. masturbation is not related to constipation but it may leads to testicle pain because of hitting back pressure on nerves and blood vessels during masturbation. so avoid masturbation till you get solved of these problems.
