Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The only way to treat your loose motion is to first find the cause of it. Are you having any other symptoms like tiredness, blood in the stool, feeling thirsty excessively, drinking lots of water, loss of weight, abdominal cramps etc? Diabetes, Inflammatory bowel disease, Polyp in the large bowel, Diverticular disease etc. are a few conditions where you could have chronic diarrhoea.

So, once the cause of your loose stool is identified, treatment can be given.

I would advise you to see your doctor, so that he could do some basic blood tests on you. You may even need an ultrasound scan and a colonoscopy too.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you
Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
