Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Overuse of laxatives can cause diarrhea. It can also lead to hyponatremia. So you need to stop taking any laxatives immediately and increase the fiber content and fluid intake in your diet.
For symptomatic relief, you can take lomotil thrice daily for two days.
The bright red vaginal bleeding that you are having might not be a related problem. After hysterectomy, the causes of vaginal bleeding can be trauma, vaginal infections, drug intake like aspirin, or cervical pathologies. A direct examination by a gynecologist is necessary to diagnose the problem. The treatment will depend on the cause.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
