A member asked:
I have been having chronic diarhhea for months. it started after i had my appendix out 3 months ago. could the appendectomy cause the diarhhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: You had an appendix removed for pain. You have diarrhea for 3 months following appendix removal. You should talk to your doctor and surgeon. You may have diarrhea from the antibiotics you received. You may need treatment. Your doctor will want to see you. This can be treated.
