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 struggling with what I think is erosive gastritis for over a year now, and it's really been a constant battle with different stomach issues popping up every day. Is this something that can actually be cured? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to give lasting relief. Should I be worried about this going on for so long?
Erosive gastritis can be treated and managed effectively with the right medications and lifestyle changes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole or esomeprazole are commonly prescribed to reduce stomach acid and promote healing of the stomach lining. Antacids like calcium carbonate or aluminum hydroxide can also help provide relief from symptoms. It is important to follow a proper diet, avoid triggers like spicy foods and alcohol, and reduce stress to help improve the condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really concerned about what I should be eating after my fistula surgery. Could you help me with a diet plan that promotes easy digestion, smooth bowel movements, and supports my recovery? I'm a bit anxious about doing the right things to heal quickly. Any guidance would be appreciated.
To promote easy digestion, passing of stools, and early recovery after fistula surgery, it is important to follow a diet that is high in fiber and fluids. Increase your fiber intake by including foods such as fruits (apples, bananas, berries), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, spinach), whole grains (oats, brown rice, whole wheat bread), and legumes (beans, lentils). Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. Include probiotic-rich foods in your diet such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut to promote gut health. Avoid spicy and greasy foods that may irritate your digestive system. Opt for lean proteins such as chicken, fish, tofu, and eggs. Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Limit your intake of processed foods and sugary snacks. Eat small, frequent meals to prevent bloating and discomfort. For easy digestion and early recovery, you can also consider taking a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Remember to follow your doctor's advice and gradually introduce new foods into your diet to monitor any adverse reactions.

I have an 11.1 mm stone in my gallbladder and really don't want surgery since I have a small baby to care for. Are there any natural ways to remove it or manage it without going under the knife?
