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'm hoping for some advice on a couple of habits I've had since I was a kid. I've been eating slate pencil since I was in 4th grade, and now that I'm 23, I'm wondering if that's harmful. Also, every now and then, I find myself eating raw rice. Are there any risks with that? On top of all this, I've been dealing with a pretty severe problem of piles. Could these habits be making my condition worse? Would love to get some insights on this.
