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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been experiencing a really concerning issue whenever I eat. I get this severe pain in my chest, close to where my heart is, right after meals. It seems to get worse when I have spicy foods. Oddly enough, if I lie down immediately, the pain goes away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with this chest pain for the last three months, and it's really starting to stress me out. What's weird is that it happens more when I'm resting or trying to sleep. I've gone through a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, TMT, Echo, ECG, and an endoscopy, and everything came back normal. Even my cardiologist says it's not a heart issue. I'm taking Nexpro for the gastric stuff, but it hasn't helped much. The pain is always on the left side, never the right. Do you think there's something else I should be checking out, or any advice on what this could be?
Ecg and chest-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm having this really annoying issue where every time I go to the bathroom, my anus gets super itchy. It's so bad that I find it really hard not to scratch it. Why is it so itchy and what can I do to stop it?
The persistent itchy anus, especially after wiping, could be caused by anal fissures, hemorrhoids, skin tags, or conditions like pruritus ani, psoriasis, or eczema; other possible causes include poor hygiene, excessive wiping, or irritation from soaps, wipes, or toilet paper; to alleviate the itch, try applying cool compresses, using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, and avoiding scratching; consider consulting a gastroenterologist,
