What Causes Bloating And Gas Problem After Having Imodium?
Brief Answer:
This is not suggestive of STD!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this diarrhea. I generally discourage the use of Imodium for acute diarrhea. Think of it as holding back germs in the stomach that the body wants to wash out. The best approach is always to allow it and dink more fluids to compensate for this.
This is not STD. Maybe you have some reasons that make you suspect that you could be having STD. The best way to guard against STD is to use condoms every time you have sex. Prevention is key.
In all, stop Imodium. Drink much water. This is not suggestive of STD. If you want to stay clear of STDs, condoms all time and correctly.
I wish you well. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Doctor please clarifiy Right flank means Right abdomen Also what type of stools are associated with hepatitis other symptoms
Brief Answer:
Means right side of the abdomen just under the ribcage!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Hepatitis is not typically known to cause diarrhea. Disregard these very nonspecific sites that provide troubling rather than helpful information.
If you are worried about hepatitis, the best way is to get tested. Also, we have good vaccines against hepatitis A and B. This also protects against D as you cannot have D without B.
