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.
I sometimes get loose bowel movements. This will happen maybe once every few months. There are no other symptoms, other than rushing to the toilet and a bit of stomach ache. Once I ve emptied my bowels, that s normally the end of it. I don t think it s actually diarrhoea, though it is a bit similar. What is the reason for this? What can I do to help prevent it (if anything)?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of loose stools and stomach ache which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Take banana on daily basis and light food. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
