Suggest Treatment For Ulcerative Colitis
Question: I am suffering from ulcerative colitis. I am on a regular dose of mesacol 3200mg/day. My stool frequency reaches upto 8-10 times in a day. Should I again go for a checkup ?
Brief Answer:
Need a checkup
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
A stool frequency of 8 to ten per day suggests a flare of the disease
You need further investigations like a complete blood count and CRP (C reactive protein) along with a stool examination. This will help to assess the disease activity and plan further treatment.
Please consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Hope this helps
I would be happy to answer any further queries
