How Long Do Diarrhea And Rashes Take To Resolve After TURP Procedure?
Question: Last Tuesday I had a prostate procedure called TURP for short and took 14 500mg Cipro pills at 2 per day.

How long will the diarrhea and facial rash symptoms last.

Brief Answer:
3 to 4 days after stoppage of the medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and do understand your concern.
If it is drug related , then after stopping of the agent it should subside within 3 to four days.
Meawhile for diarrhoea -- I would suggest you to drink plenty of water or electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
Add bland foods to your diet, such as bananas, toast, oatmeal and rice in small amounts every couple of hours. Avoid spicy food. Restrict meat for few days.
You can take curd which will be beneficial. Probiotics like sporolac or ecobion will be beneficial.
For rash -- wash it with cool water and use mild soap like dermadew and apply calamine lotion with alovera for faster healing.
Hope this helps
Take care
