Complete Hysterectomy, Dehydration, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Ileus. Why Do I Have Recurrent Diarrhea?

I had a complete hysterectomy by Davinci Robot on 8/25. I left the hospital on 8/26. I was back in the hospital on 10/01 with severe dehydration after diarrhea and vomiting. I was told I had an ileus . I was released on 10/06 and today 10/10 I am starting with diarrhea again. I do not have the nausea that I had before I was admitted to the hospital on 10/01. Could this diarrhea just be my body getting used to eating again? I was NPO for 4 days while in the hospital.

Hello,

Eating after four days NBM may induce diarrhea in a few patients. You have to take soft diet, yogurt, and soups. After a few days, you may start eating solids without much fat or spicy.

Within 10 days you can eat as previously with caution. So use tablet sporulac thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
