Hello,
You should do a stool sample first to make sure that it is not a gastrointestinal infection. It isn't much related to hysterectomy you had recently. Also, using antibiotics may have caused this diarrhea. Take probiotics to re-establish the intestinal flora.
Use loperamid for diarrhea.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
