What does jaundice look like?

Jaundice first causes a yellow discoloration of the skin, but it can also cause a yellow discoloration of body fluids.

Jaundice is a common disease in life. Mild jaundice may cause the skin to appear yellow. If the jaundice is severe and persists, it may cause the urine to darken and the stool to lighten. Because different degrees of jaundice may present different symptoms, it is usually not possible to generalize. Jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If a baby develops physiological jaundice after being sold, it may gradually disappear over time and usually does not require special treatment. If pathological jaundice occurs, it may be due to a significant increase in serum bilirubin in the body. Red and blue light irradiation can help the bilirubin disappear quickly, achieve therapeutic effects, and control the progression of the disease.

During the treatment of severe jaundice, you should go to the hospital regularly for a comprehensive check-up. Try to get the hepatitis B vaccine in your daily life, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of hepatitis B disease, increase the body's resistance, reduce damage to the liver, keep abreast of the condition of the body, seek timely treatment when you feel uncomfortable, observe changes in the body at any time, and participate in physical exercise appropriately in your life, which can improve personal immunity and reduce the occurrence of some diseases.
