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'm really struggling hereI've had diarrhea for the last 3 months and my doctor said it might be IBS. I'm currently taking ibset, but before this, I tried colospa x and eldicet. The problem is, every time I stop the meds, the diarrhea comes back, and sometimes it happens like 3 to 4 times a day with mucus. I'm worried and not sure what I should be doing differently. Any advice on how to manage this?

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?
Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I've been having some issues with stomach and stool cleaning for about a week now. I went to the hospital and the doctor recommended a syrup called Gudlax Plus. Do you think this syrup is the right choice for me, and when would be the best time to take it?
Gudlax Plus syrup, containing a combination of liquid paraffin, methylpolysiloxane, and magnesium hydroxide, is commonly used to treat constipation and promote bowel regularity; take 1-2 tablespoons of Gudlax Plus syrup at bedtime or as directed by your doctor, with a full glass of water, to help soften and clear stool, and ensure adequate hydration to facilitate its effectiveness.
