Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Diarrhea after Hysterectomy is possible only if there is PID that is pelvic inflammatory disease and hence such a coincidence is not known to occur.
Gall bladder surgery can cause such a problem but your problem continues far before Cholecystectomy.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Get the stool tests for three consecutive days.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen followed by a Contrast enhanced CT scan if required.
Tests of blood for CBC, thyroid, liver and kidney functions.
Clinical evaluation by a Doctor for getting a proper diagnosis, correlation with the lab and other investigations to get a plan for proper management.
I find this answer helpful
