What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements After Recovering From Jaundice?
I have recovered from jaundice about a month ago and I am having excretion issue. Earlier I used to go to wash room once a day in the morning and I was satisfied with it but now I have to go 4-5 times and then also I am not satisfied...... What to do?

1. since you are in recovery phase thus importantly look out for any infection particularly 'gastro enteritis' which can cause frequent bowel movements.
2. check with liver function tests [particularly bilirubin levels since high levels can cause diarrhea] and ultrasonography of abdomen [to exclude any obstructive cause resulting in high bilirubin] to know the health status of liver
3. Take boiled water, adequate rest, and avoid tap water-milk products-raw vegetables.
