Loose Stools, Diarrhea, Hemorrhoids, Heavy-headed. On Daflon. Reason?
I'm 31 weeks prego now. For the last two days I have started experiencing loose stools. Today it was much more frequent than yesterday (3-4 times). I was put on daflon 500 for hamerriods but I stopped it today because I read that it can cause diarrhea. My stomach makes grumbling noises and I feel heavy headed as well. What can be the possible reason? Show I go immediately to my doctor?
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Since, how many days, you are having hemorrhoids ? If it is after pregnancy than need not to take treatment as wait for delivery. Sometimes pregnancy related hemorrhoids disappear after release of pressure ove r rectum and anal canal. If frequency of stool is more than 3-4 than get a treatment ,otherwise just have a liquid diet with juice ( so lost minerals could be compensated). Shortness of breath is due to pregnancy so I would not recommend any treatment for this. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Good luck. Dr. HET
