Sometimes I suffer from morning diarrhea, which makes me want to use the toilet 3 to 4 times. This is eventually followed by weakness and tiredness. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it? I do not have anemia or thyroid problems.

Sudden urge to pass stools in the morning is common in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). If it is daily with weakness, do a Stool Calprotectin to rule out gut inflammation. Eat light, avoid fried foods, and manage stress.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Fecal Calprotectin Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

I am experiencing frequent bowel movements, sometimes 8 to 9 times a day during diarrhea, and even when not having diarrhea, 3 to 4 times a day with a little mucus in my stool. I have attached my LFT and blood reports for reference.

My mother needs to use the toilet 2 to 3 times a day, and her stools are watery. She was previously taking Vibact and Rifagut 400 under a doctor prescription, which helped, but the problem has recurred. Should she continue the same medication, or are there other medicines she can take? She also had a stool test, which was normal.

Respected Doctors, I have been diagnosed with proctosigmoiditis. Can it lead to cancer in the future without treatment? I do not have any symptoms. Should I worry about this? Some doctors say it is only piles, while others say it is proctosigmoiditis. Please provide a correct and genuine answer. I am attaching my colonoscopy report.
