Dear Doctor, I am 64 years old male. For the last 10 Days, I am having loose motions, gastric problem and slight stomach ache. I have consulted a Physician (MD-General Medicine). As per his advice I have done Stool Examination for which shows the following results. Test Results: Gross Examination: Brown semi formed Stool with no mucus no frank blood seen Pus cells: Nil R.B.Cells: Nil Parasites-Ova/Cyst: Nil Macrophages: Nil Others: Food Debris present Occult Blood (Stool): Negative He prescribed me following medicines and taking the same for the last 8 days and continuing the same, as per his advice ,for another 2 days. He said after completing the 10 days treatment, if the problem continues suggested to meet a Gastroenterologist and go for a Colonoscopy. Is there any other alternative test for Colonoscopy, as I am scared to do that. What is the purpose of doing Colonoscopy? Kindly advice me future course of action, and the implications. Following are the Medicines which I am taking now: (1) Tablet Orni-O 1/2 -0 -1/2 (2) Capsule Pan-D 1- 0 -1 (before food) (3) Capsule Nutrolin B Plus 1-0-1 Expecting your reply Immediately. Thanking You, Ramakrishnan K.

Some cases of diarrhea are chronic more than mnth condition lasts on and off then throughout a patient?s life and may need more diligent medical attention like colonoscopy to screen for chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Other cases of acute diarrhea only last a couple of days week and usually symptoms go away on their own. If you experience diarrhea for more than a few days, it important diarrhea often leads to dehydration because a significant amount of water and important chemicals called electrolytes is lost when patients frequently pass loose stool. Leaving dehydration unattended can lead to more serious health issues such as damage to the organs, bodily shock While most patients who are experiencing diarrhea are able to keep up with their fluids losses by oral ingestion, occasionally intravenous fluids will be needed ? especially if the diarrhea persists with vomiting. Diarrhea patients who also have a high fever, blood in the stool or excessively dark-colored stool should contact a medical provider immediately. AS your Causes of Diarrhea is not known as per your case you may need colonoscopy only if you have diarrhea gastro complaint since mnth or years you can do MRI OR CTSCAN ABDOMEN BARIUM MEAL WITH PROCTOSCOPY ITS EQUAL TO COLONO OR SIGMOID SCOPY Chronic diarrhea life time mnth is usually a sign of underlying chronic conditions such as Crohn?s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, which occur when there is severe inflammation in a patient?s colon tissue. Acute diarrhea, is triggered by more common conditions, such as a virus or bacterium. It usually does not have to be diagnosed if it only lasts a couple of days. Have you done FBC: anaemia or raised platelet count suggesting inflammation. LFTs, including albumin level. Calcium, vitamin B12 and red blood cell folate, iron studies (ferritin). ESR and CRP: elevated levels may indicate inflammatory bowel disease. Stool for culture examination for ova, cysts and parasites: if an infectious cause is suspected or there is a history of travel to high-risk areas. Consider sending stool for testing for Clostridium difficile if a previous episode has resolved and the symptoms have recurred. HOMEOPATHY HEAL PATEINT qFROM INSIDE DAIROHEA IS ONLY A PHASE SHOW OF INNER DISEASE SUPPRESING IT KILLING ORGANISM WILL ONLY HIDDEN THE INNER DISORDER WHICH WILL. ALWAYS BE VUNERABLE TO NEXT ATTACK.
