Suggest treatment for loose motions during pregnancy
Patient: Hi I am 27 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy. I have got Cervical stitch in my 22nd week. I am facing loose motions since last 10 days...I have lost 2kgs since then... My doctor suggested me to take Vibact DS and STIBS but of no use... I am very much worried for my child. Please help. Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion persistence of loose motions since 10 days Inspite of taking medicines needs to be evaluated.Stool culture and sensitivity or microscopy might help in accurate diagnosis and treatment.They help in ruling out any infection.And if at all infection is there antibiotics might be needed.Avoid spicy and oily diet. Take bland diet.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day,fruit juices,coconut water daily to combat dehydration due to loose motions.Take electrol powder and probiotics as suggested by your doctor.Nothing to worry.Avoid stress.Hope this helps.Best regards...
