Specializes in Urgent Care

Dysentery: Studies show that many foodborne pathogens take several days to incubate and cause symptoms. This is an important lesson for all patients. If you and your partner participate in anal sex, this may also be the presentation of Gonorrhea and regardless of cause, severe cramping with diarrhea requires immediate evaluation full medical history and exam, recent antibiotic use/travel , STD/AIDS testing
