What Causes Diarrhea While Suffering From Hepatosplenomegaly?
Question: I am suffering from hepatosplenomegaly causing chronic diarrhea kindly suggest me regarding diet and medicine please
Brief Answer:
Hepatosplenomegaly with diarrhea indicate some underlying infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Hepatosplenomegaly will never cause diarrhea. Hepatosplenomegaly is a presenting feature of some other reason or underlying cause. So is diarrhea.
Both these are actually symptoms and signs of some other underlying disease or infection which has not yet been diagnosed.
From medications as I see you are treating only the symptoms. The main causative reason is still untouched.
You will need a detailed blood workup to find for the reason. These symptoms commonly seen in people with some kind of immunodeficiency or tick born infections.
I would like to advice you to consult a gastroenterologist and get done proper workup of yourself so as to find the exact cause which are manifesting as hepatospelomegaly and chronic diarrhea and treat that cause. If it is treated then the symptoms you mentioned will also go away.
I hope I have answered your query well. If you have any more query kindly write back.
Thank you
