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 throwing up this bitter yellow stuff since last night and my legs have gone kind of numb. Even though I'm not actually vomiting anymore, I still feel super nauseous and it's really intense. I've never had anything like this happen before. Any idea what might be going on?
