Question
Soon after birth, newborns may experience poor health conditions, with yellowish eyes and light tea-colored diapers, causing concern among parents. They inquire about the relationship between newborn jaundice and diaper color.
Answer
Jaundice in newborns is a common concern for many parents. In fact, the prognosis for most newborn jaundice is good, and there is no need to worry excessively. Newborn jaundice is often related to the special physiological environment of newborns. Physiological jaundice is a normal physiological phenomenon that will gradually disappear naturally, usually not exceeding two weeks, with most cases disappearing within ten days. If jaundice persists for more than two to three weeks or recurs, it should be considered pathological jaundice. With early treatment and control, pathological jaundice generally does not cause serious problems. Jaundice usually occurs due to bile duct obstruction or other factors.
