My husband has just been diagnosed with the initial stages of jaundice, and I'm really worried. Is it okay for us to have intercourse during this early phase of jaundice, or should we avoid it? Would really appreciate any advice you can give!

During the initial stages of jaundice, it's generally recommended to avoid intercourse. Here's why: _Jaundice Precautions_ 1. _Infection risk_: Jaundice can be a symptom of an underlying infection, such as hepatitis. Intercourse can increase the risk of transmission. 2. _Weakened immune system_: Jaundice can indicate a compromised liver function, which may weaken the immune system. Intercourse can further strain the body. 3. _Discomfort and fatigue_: Jaundice can cause discomfort, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Intercourse may exacerbate these symptoms. _Precautions to Take_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Before resuming intercourse, consult with your husband's doctor to ensure it's safe. 2. _Practice safe sex_: Use condoms to minimize the risk of infection transmission. 3. _Monitor health_: Keep a close eye on your husband's health and adjust your decision accordingly.
