Can Anesthetic For Pregnancy Termination Cause Diarrhea?

Hi i just had an pregnancy termination today, i was put under general anesthetic, since being home (about 6 hours) ive been resting and eating dry crisps because i dont have an appetite for anything else and now im experiencing bad diarrhea.. is this possibly a side affect of the anesthetic?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As per my clinical experience, the general anesthesia drugs are not responsible for diarrhea.
* There can be administered intravenous antibiotics probably during the procedure, which may be accounting for the same.

I recommend to consume plenty of liquids orally and immediately contact your doctors office for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
