Can diarrhea and lower back pain be related?
Patient: For the past month I have had light colored diarrhea, on and off. Then things started getting back to normal about 10 days ago. Well last Sunday I started having lower back pain on my left side, my stool is back to normal but it is lighter then normal and today I noticed some blood when I wiped. I have been to the doctor for my back pain and did mention the diarrhea but he said if you have no fever and felt fine, and no blood then it should be ok. So now I noticed the blood and I have another appointment Thursday and will definitly mention the blood, Can these two issues be related? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMCondition could be due to fissures, or haemorrhoid and this need to be ruled out if this is not the case then this could be intestinal infection condition can be treated tentatively with Tab Metrogyl 400 mg twice in day for five days, most of the times this comes to normal and if not then stool need to be analyse, hope this information helps, take care.
