I was lying with my baby in the hospital and after returning home I had severe diarrhea for two days. Now, whenever I want to leave the house, my stomach hurts a lot and I have a bowel movement even 3 times and then I still feel bad outside. What could it be caused by? How can I counteract it?
Changing the pattern of bowel movements requires medical diagnosis and tests. Taking over-the-counter medications can change the picture and course of the disease or ailments. If, for example, you are taking medications for diarrhea and you have nonspecific inflammation of the intestine or its nervous activity, the medications will not help, and will burden other organs and irritate the intestines even more.
Based on the interview, the general practitioner will order detailed tests (blood in the stool, parasites, morphology) and then you will know whether you will be treated by a gastroenterologist or a proctologist. There is no point in delaying, as it will only extend your return to normal.
