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 noticed that whenever I add milk to my diet, I start to feel some pain in my stomach, and it seems to trigger gas issues. I also get this feeling of acidity and sometimes deal with constipation. I'm wondering if I can use milk powder as an alternative to meet my dairy needs. Is it healthy to make that switch, and are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?
If you are having problems when taking milk or milk products, chances are you will get those problems with milk powder as well. But you can try. Take small quantities initially and if its alright, you can continue. There is no problem.

I'm dealing with erosive gastritis and a lot of acidity, and my doctor suggested I try drinking limestone edible. They told me to dissolve 1mg of chuna in a liter of water, wait for it to settle, and then drink the clear water throughout the day. I'm curious about what benefits this might have. Are there any contradictions I should be aware of? Could this lead to stone formation? And how long should I be doing this for?
Chuna (edible limestone) helps neutralize stomach acid and can relieve acidity and gastritis symptoms by balancing pH levels. However, it should be taken cautiously, as excessive use can potentially affect kidney function and lead to stone formation in susceptible individuals. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding duration, typically for a few days to weeks, but only as prescribed. Always stay hydrated and monitor any changes.
