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 with constipation and I've heard Isabgol might help. But I'm not sure how long I need to take it to see real results. Are we talking a few weeks, or could it take several months or even a year to completely get rid of the problem?
Isabgol (psyllium husk) can help alleviate constipation symptoms within 2-7 days, but for optimal results and to establish regular bowel habits, it's recommended to take isabgol consistently for at least 2-3 months, and ideally, as a long-term dietary supplement to support digestive health, under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

I'm really worried about my dad's condition. The doctor mentioned he has to take this Pantocid HP kit, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to use it. Also, are there any side effects we should be aware of? Since he's diabetic too, does that pose any additional risks with these meds? Could really use some guidance here.
The Pantocid HP kit is commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection in the stomach, which can cause ulcers. The kit usually contains a combination of three medications: Pantoprazole (40mg), Clarithromycin (500mg), and Amoxicillin (1000mg). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of the treatment to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects. Since your father is a diabetic patient, it is important to monitor his blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication, as it may interact with his diabetes medication. It is advisable to inform the doctor about his diabetes and any other medications he is taking to avoid any potential drug interactions.

I've had this bubbling sensation under my left front rib cage whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for a few days now. It also hurts when I do any kind of physical activity. I'm just wondering if this is something I should be seriously worried about.
The "bubbling" sensation under your left front rib cage, accompanied by pain during physical activity, could be related to various conditions, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone), pleurisy (inflammation of the lining surrounding the lungs), or even a rib injury, and it's recommended to consult a orthopaedician
