[|AI|]  Hello, The complaint you mentioned is made by most of the patients I have seen. Patients post-surgery need medication, so they develop good healing and don't develop an infection.  This medication may lead to stomach upset and reduced bowel movement forming acidity in the stomach. Also, the lack of mobility is one of the reason. Now since after having loose stools you have developed another side effect I will request you to speak to your doctor for the same. As he will be the right candidate to examine and prescribe the necessary medications. As it needs a physical examination I will direct you back to your surgeon for the same. Keep the body cool and calm. Have plenty of juices to keep the body warm, and please follow the post-surgical prescription for the exercise part to go back on feet. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
