Hello,
You've been experiencing watery stools for more than 2 months, which we classify as chronic diarrhea.
Let me explain what that means and what we need to do:
1. Possible Causes
There are many reasons for chronic loose motions:
Infections: Like Giardia or amoebiasis, which can persist if untreated.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Especially if your stress levels are high and there's no infection.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.
Malabsorption: Problems digesting food properly—like lactose intolerance or celiac disease.
Overuse of antibiotics or medications.
Chronic gut infections in people with poor immunity or nutritional status.
2. Tests We May Need
To find out the exact cause, we might need:
Stool tests (routine, microscopy, culture, ova & parasites)
Blood tests (to check for anemia, infection, inflammation)
Colonoscopy or endoscopy if needed
Ultrasound abdomen or sometimes CT scan if symptoms are not explained
3. Important Symptoms to Tell Me
Please inform if you have any of these:
Blood in stool
Weight loss
Fever
Pain in the abdomen
Fatigue or weakness
These can help us decide if the cause is simple or something more serious.
4. What You Can Do Now
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Avoid milk, spicy, oily, and outside food.
Eat bland food like rice, banana, curd, and khichdi.
Do not self-medicate with antibiotics without proper diagnosis.
Conclusion:
You need to visit a doctor in person for clinical examination and tests. Chronic loose motions should not be ignored, and treatment depends on the cause.
We’ll help you feel better once we find out what’s causing it.
Reference: Based on guidelines from Harrison’s Manual of Medicine on chronic diarrhea evaluation.
MARK HELPFUL ☺️☺️🤠
