Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

There is NO treatment for Thalassemia.

Causes of frequent urge to pass stools can be, amebic infection, worms infestation, poor digestion due to low Hemoglobin, chronic anxiety or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Give her a 5-days' course of Tinidazole; a single dose of Albendazole; and, increase the frequency of Librax. She should improve with the treatment. If it is due to IBS, she would require a long-term treatment with drugs used for depression and anxiety.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care

Dr. Rakesh Karanwal
