Jaundice
पीलिया के लक्षण और उपचार

पीलिया (Jaundice) कोई बीमारी नहीं है, बल्कि यह लिवर में किसी खराबी का मुख्य संकेत है। जब रक्त में बिलिरूबिन (bilirubin) नाम के पीले पिगमेंट की मात्रा सामान्य से अधिक हो जाती है, तो त्वचा, आंखों का सफेद हिस्सा (sclera) और पेशाब का रंग पीला हो जाता है। पीलिया का मुख्य कारण वायरल हेपेटाइटिस (लिवर की सूजन), शराब का सेवन, पित्त की नली में पथरी (bile duct stone), या लिवर सिरोसिस हो सकता है।

Symptom Overview

Understanding Jaundice

पीलिया (जॉन्डिस) खून में बिलिरूबिन बढ़ने से आंखों और पेशाब के पीले होने से पहचान में आता है। यह लिवर संक्रमण (हेपेटाइटिस) या पित्त नली में रुकावट के कारण होता है।

Practical lifestyle and self-care steps to manage Jaundice.

Daily habits that can help soothe symptoms and support digestion:

Drink only boiled, filtered, or bottled mineral water. Avoid street juices or ice.

Strictly avoid alcohol and oily, heavy, fried foods until the liver heals.

Eat a light, carbohydrate-rich diet (sugarcane juice, papaya, boiled potatoes, khichdi) to reduce the liver's workload.

Do not fall for self-proclaimed 'herbal' healers or jhara-phunki; alternative medicines can trigger acute liver failure.

FAQ

पूछे जाने वाले मुख्य सवाल — FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Jaundice.

बिल्कुल नहीं। देसी जड़ी-बूटियों या बिना लेबल वाली दवाओं में भारी धातुएं (heavy metals) होती हैं, जो लिवर को गंभीर नुकसान पहुंचाकर 'एक्यूट लिवर फेलियर' (Acute Liver Failure) का कारण बन सकती हैं, जो जानलेवा है।
