My husband has just been diagnosed with the initial stages of jaundice, and I'm really worried. Is it okay for us to have intercourse during this early phase of jaundice, or should we avoid it? Would really appreciate any advice you can give!

During the initial stages of jaundice, it's generally recommended to avoid intercourse. Here's why:
Jaundice Precautions
- Infection risk: Jaundice can be a symptom of an underlying infection, such as hepatitis. Intercourse can increase the risk of transmission.
- Weakened immune system: Jaundice can indicate a compromised liver function, which may weaken the immune system. Intercourse can further strain the body.
- Discomfort and fatigue: Jaundice can cause discomfort, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Intercourse may exacerbate these symptoms.
Precautions to Take
- Consult a doctor: Before resuming intercourse, consult with your husband's doctor to ensure it's safe.
- Practice safe sex: Use condoms to minimize the risk of infection transmission.
- Monitor health: Keep a close eye on your husband's health and adjust your decision accordingly.

I'm dealing with hemorrhoids for about a year and a half now, and I'm really eager to find a solution. Could it be an issue if I start going to the gym or playing sports? Any advice would be great!
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day..... Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol. Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling. With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week.

To reduce it to normal range, you can take medications like Ursocol, Liv 52, and HepaMerz. These medications can help in improving liver function. It is important to consult a doctor for proper dosage and duration of treatment.
