My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?

Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?

I've just had a routine check-up with my gynecologist, and she mentioned a scan where my gallbladder showed a 4mm polyp. Do I need to be concerned about this polyp? Does it need any treatment?
