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 acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?
i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.

I'm really concerned about my husband's health. He has gallstones, and theyre about 6.5mm in size according to his recent reports. I'm just wondering if they really have to be operated on. If surgery is necessary, could you recommend a good doctor in Hyderabad? If its not urgent, what can he do to manage or prevent any complications?
Your husband's gallstone size of 6.5mm is considered relatively small, and surgery might not be immediately necessary. However, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm really worried about this swelling and pain I've been having in my lower rib cage for about a month now. It's pretty uncomfortable and sometimes I even feel a burning sensation. Occasionally, the pain seems to spread to my stomach. I've had some blood tests and an ultrasound, but they didn't show anything abnormal. Could you please help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like the pain in your lower rib cage could be related to muscle strain, costochondritis (inflammation of the rib cartilage), or digestive issues like acid reflux. Since your tests were normal, it might be worth monitoring your posture, stress levels, and diet, and if the pain persists, consulting a doctor for further evaluation.
