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?

Hi,

* 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
