Pain In The Abdomen After Taking Antibiotics. Loose Reddish Stool. Due To Medication?
Hi
After taking antibiotics for almost a week (cipro 500mg) i have been having this slight but very bothersome pain in my abdomen mainly in my left and right side. my stool became loose and notice pieces of red stuff. I have ben like this for about a week. I had a colonoscopy and result was hemorroids easy to read. I prescribed my self the antibiotics so probably took it for nothing. At somepoint my stool was green but is getting less green. can this antibiotics cause all this. Thanks for any help

hi welcome to Health caremagic forum .
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
After using antibiotics for one week, (cipro) you had abdominal pain on both sides, stools became loose and with red stuff, since one week, colonoscopy show hemoroids,
In some areas due to hardness of water some antibiotics show such changes like gastritis, and intestinal irritation, and may cause blood motions.
Most probably your problem is due to this only. This needs to be treated with antibiotics which dont cause such changes, P.P.I. if necessory with anti spasmodics.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I advise you to avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
