Experiencing Pain In Abdominal Area Due To Accident And Now Diarrhea, What Is The Problem ?
Hi,
I had a small accident three days ago while stepping out of a car. Another car backed into the door and I was squashed between the door and the car. I escaped with only a headache and a few aches and pains in the areas that took the impact. Later that day I started having a little pain in the abdomen and had diarrhea. This pain (although now sharper) and the diarrhea has persisted until today. I'm starting to wonder whether I've caught a stomach disease or whether the accident and the issues with my abdomen are interrelated? I would appreciate any help with this.

Hello,
It simply is a co incidence that you developed diarrhoea after having an accident but in fact Thete is no co relation between two.
Diarrhoea is in general caused by some viral,bacterial or parasitic infection.
Consult your doctor for the medication,if diarrhoea persists for more than 5 days.
Most of the times diarhoea is caused by a viral infection and goes away in 4-5 days.
Thanks
