Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain And Weight Loss With History Of Spinal Surgery?
My husband (50) years old has experienced abdominal problems for about 7 years. He has a lot of diarehha abdominal pain, exhaustion, never feels good and has suddenly been looking thin. He said he has lost weight and that concerns him. He had upper spinal surgery several years ago and sometimes complains his neck and shoulders hurt.
Diarrhea, abdominal pain, exhaustion and weight loss need to be investigated. I suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Complete blood counts and colonoscopy needs to be done to look for status of colon. Management will depend on the findings.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
