Patient: Hi, I m Sahni from India. I suffered with Jaundice in the month of July and it kept me on bed for almost two months. I m feeling all well sine past couple of months now and have resumed my oral workout routine as well. I m 26 years old married man and planning for our first baby. Could yo advise me if it s advisable to go ahead right now or is there any prescribed gap that s must keep while proceeding with our family planning? Shall appreciate your answer, Thanks Doctor: Hi, Welcome to HCM You have suffered jaundice in the month of July but two month is long tome to recover . Jaundice is just symptom which can be due to various causes most common is viral hepatitis. If it was viral hepatitis it is important to know which type A,B,C& E are common one  as Hepatitis B&C can cause chronic hepatitis and can be transmitted sexually also so it is not only time gap it is type which is important. if it was B or C then you should consult a Gastroenterologist and test for viral markers is required and he will guide you depending on result. Even vaccine is there for Hepatitis B . If it was A or E and you have completely recovered there should not be any problem in going ahead with family. Hope this information is useful for you. Take care Good Luck.
