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.

Can exercise actually help cure polyps or is surgery the only option to remove them especially when they cause bleeding

While regular exercise can be beneficial for overall health and may help manage symptoms associated with polyps, it cannot cure them or remove them. Surgery is generally the only effective way to remove polyps, especially when they cause bleeding or other significant symptoms
