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 dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?

I had a Whipple surgery a while ago where they removed parts of my pancreas, bile duct, and gallbladder. Ever since then, I've been struggling to put on weight and now I'm underweight. What kind of diet plan would help me gain some healthy weight?
With several changes to the gastrointestinal tract, many find it hard to return to a normal diet after the Whipple procedure. In the first few months after surgery many patients experience a lack of appetite and loss of weight which gets better with time, however, changes in digestion may last long term

I've just had a routine check-up with my gynecologist, and she mentioned a scan where my gallbladder showed a 4mm polyp. Do I need to be concerned about this polyp? Does it need any treatment?
