Jaundice : Several things can cause jaundice. Hepatitis a is transmitted through food. Hepatitis b and c are transmitted through blood and bodily fluid including sexual contact. Beside that, many conditions of the liver, bile duct, gall blader and surrounding organs that obstruct your bile duct like a pancrea tumor can cause jaundice. Break down of your red blood cells also do that too. You should see a doc.
