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 And Constipation Despite Having IBS?
I suspect IBS-A. I have frequently had diarrhea, sometimes constipation or followed immediately by diarrhea. My health is otherwise good. I am not only post-menopausal, but I am also long post-hysterectomy. I take Prozac and a small Estradiol dose.
Hello dear Greetings Regarding your symptoms of diarrhoea and constipation following intake of estradiol and prozac with a history of post menopausal and post hysterectomy I am suggesting that this is attributed largely due to your autonomic nerves supplying your intestine is gradually getting weak due senile
In view of this please use some laxative and Antispasmodic drug to control the symptoms
If no improvement please schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist specialist for expert management
I hope this helps Regards
