Several Bouts Of Diarrhea After Partial Hysterectomy. No Relief With Prescribed Medication. Cure?
I had a partial hysterectomy on 11/6/2012. Since then I have have sever bouts of diarrhea . I go every hour on the hour. My doctor precribed metronidazole 500 mg on 11/10/2012 to take twice. Still I have had no relief. Today was the only day I was abel to eat a meal. I have tried imodium and I drink plenty of water and gatorade. Can you help?
* Persistence diarrhea post pelvic surgery can be related to intestine irritation via post-surgical collection or else.
* As per my surgical experience, it is recommended to proceed for the CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis for the definite cause evaluation rather than opting for the vague relief via probiotics and antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
