I have confirmed shigella. on antibiotics. day 2. iv had anal leakage for a few weeks now. will this go away? what can i do to stop this. depressing.

Diarrhea: Having a Shigella infection can be messy. Drink plenty of fluids, increase fiber in your diet, and try some probiotics or increasing yogurt intake. Until the infection gets under control, using sanitary napkins or even adult diapers may help you feel less self-conscious. It will get back to normal.
