He feels weakness after passing stools.is it IBS? Pl guide us. XXXX
Brief Answer:
The medications need to be managed
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in
The MRI report points to prolapse disc
Seems the patient would be on some form of pain killers
Stress, pain and drug induced gastritis could be the reason
I would suggest you give him Rabeprazole and domperidone tice a day before meals
Continue Welgutt and laxative
Give him small frequent meals
Avoid spicy, fried and fermented meals
If he has any other medical disease manage the same
Does he have to strain a lot or takes extra time passing stool ?
IBS could be one of the reasons but the medicines prescribed are good enough to take care, except that if he is under stress manage stress levels
Hope this helps

There is an MRI report attached which shows disc prolapse
Anyway even without pain killers the management remains the same except the clinical impression will exclude drug induced gastritis
Hope this helps
