I warmly Welcome you !

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM.

Probable causes for green stools:-
■Diet rich in green leafy vegetables.
■certain food dyes.
■NSAIDs like Indomethacin.
■diarrhea.
■Depo-Provera (Medroxyprogesterone) an oral contraceptive drug.
■iron supplementation.



These factors need to be taken care of. kindly give me details about these factors if they are related in this case. You can also upload a well lit picture of the stools for better diagnosis. Add additional symptoms, if any. Or discuss to your treating physician and he/she may review your case thoroughly. Treatment goes accordingly.


Hope it helps. If you need further assistance anytime, feel free to contact me back.


Regards!
