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'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Just had an ultrasound that showed multiple gallstones, biggest one is 8mm. Is there any ayurvedic medicine that can dissolve these stones so I don't need surgery? Really worried about going under the knife.

Ayurvedic herbs like bhumi amla and kalmegh are promoted but lack strong evidence. If gallstones are symptomatic, surgery remains the gold standard.
