Question 1

I had surgery about 7 months ago but still struggle with frequent urges to poop, especially when I leave the house. Is there any medication that can help reduce my bowel movements to just once or twice a day?

Accepted Answer

kindly share report

Question 2

I'm wondering why my stool is always loose in the morning. Each day I drink a lot of water right after I wake up, and then have a cup of tea which really makes me want to go to the toilet. I usually drink water before sitting on the toilet to pass stool. Could all this be the reason for my loose stools? What can I do to have a more normal, smooth, and long stool thats easier to pass?

Accepted Answer

Drinking lots of water, especially on an empty stomach, and consuming tea in the morning may contribute to loose stools; to achieve normal, smooth, and well-formed stools, try the following: drink water in moderation, avoid drinking water immediately before passing stools, eat a balanced breakfast to help firm up stools, incorporate fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), exercise regularly, and consider reducing or avoiding morning tea or switching to herbal tea to minimize caffeine's laxative effect.

Question 3

So my mom, Karthiyayani, went to your clinic on the 9th because she had this stomach pain after taking the Duvanta tablet at night. You originally prescribed Palmigas, Duvanta, Gpital, and Pan D. She didn't take the Pan D at night like you instructed, only in the morning. We're just a bit worried since your clinic isn't open on Sundays, and wanted to ask if she should keep taking these meds or not.

Accepted Answer

Karthiyayani should continue the prescribed medicines:

Medicines to Continue

1. Palmigas
2. Duvanta (as directed)
3. Gpital (as directed)

Next Steps

1. Monitor stomach pain and report any worsening.
2. Follow dosage instructions.
3. Schedule a follow-up appointment for Monday or earliest available time.

Please confirm her condition improves or worsens. If concerns arise, contact the clinic or on-call doctor.
