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've been feeling this burning sensation in my stomach along with constant burping, and it's making me really uncomfortable. It also feels like there's this gurgling in my chest and throat. When I drink water, I notice a sort of gurgle as it reaches my stomach, almost like there's bubbling happening inside. Could this be something serious, or maybe just indigestion?

Found a gallstone about 1.1 cm and my doctor recommends surgery. Can I try natural remedies to flush it out instead? What could happen if I don't get the surgery?

1.1 cm gallstones rarely flush out naturally. If symptomatic, surgery is recommended. Delay can lead to complications like pancreatitis.

I'm having some discomfort and uneasiness around my ribs on both sides, and it even extends to my shoulders. I've been taking gastric tablets like ZENTAC every day, and I've had tests done for both heart-related and gastro issues. My endoscopy results were normal too. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing these symptoms. What other tests should I consider to get to the bottom of this?

do one routine test like complete blood count, liver function test, and chest xray
