What Could Be Wrong Having Soft Stools, Diarrhoea With Mucus And Foul Smell Of Stools Having Appendectomy Done Four Months Ago?
Hi there. Had laproscopic appendectomy four months ago. Last month I thought I had a stomach flu and ever since then I have had soft stools & some diareaha with mucus. Stools odor is foul smelling. The pain in my lower right quadrant is back. Its more of a burning sharp pain. Unsure what's going on. Please help.

Its likely to be some infective pathology like amoebiasis which is an protozoal infection, it can be confirmed by stool microscopy examination. Treatment involves antibiotic like Metronidazole given for 7 days In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
