What Are the Symptoms of Jaundice in Adults, and What Causes It? - #15264
A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with jaundice, and I always thought it was something that mainly affected newborns. But now I’m wondering—what are the symptoms of jaundice in adults, and what does it mean for liver health? I read that jaundice happens when bilirubin levels build up in the blood, causing the skin and eyes to turn yellow. But what are the early signs before the yellowing appears? Do symptoms like fatigue, dark urine, and pale stools always accompany jaundice? What are the most common causes of jaundice in adults? I know that liver diseases like hepatitis, cirrhosis, and gallbladder problems can lead to jaundice, but can dehydration, medications, or infections also cause it? Are there natural ways to treat jaundice? Does Ayurveda recommend liver-supporting herbs like Kutki, Bhumyamalaki, and Amla for detoxification? If anyone has experienced jaundice as an adult, what was the underlying cause, and how did you recover?
