Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had ulcerative Colitis many years ago. In june this year i had a tummy bug that was going round, only lasted 1 day. After that i began getting abdominal pain so got Predsol enimas from my doctor, these helped. Now, whenever i spend a penny, i always have leakage from the back passage. What could have happened. I am 64yrs old and otherwise in good health.
HI. Thanks for your query. Read about your history of ulcerative colitis, tummy bug and leakage from back passage.
It is possible a secondary infection of the gastrointestinal tract. I would advise you a course of 5-day antibiotic, metronidazole and supportive medicines like probiotic, multivitamins, Activated charcoal tablets. Review after 6 days if no relief. Then to undergo all relevant investigations like blood sugar, thyroid function tests, urine , stool and ultrasonography and colonoscopy . Start on the proper mesalmine and such medicines under the guidance of a Gastroenterologist if there is no relief.
