Hi, I am passing predominantly froth when I use the toilet. I have a mild abdominal pain, which intensifies when I try to use the toilet. The stools is small, but there is a lot of creamy coloured froth. Im 30 yr old male, no previous medical history of note. Any advice?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history and understood your problems. You have small stools with creamy colored froth. You also have mild pain in abdomen. The pain intensifies when you try in the toilet. Such a history is seen in patients suffering from Colitis. This may be more due to amoebic colitis as it gives mild pain which increases on passing stool, has creamy froth. There can be a super-added bacterial infection too. I would advise you the following:First take a course of an antibiotic and Metronidazole in appropriate dosage under a Doctors prescription; take probiotics and multivitamins for full 5-day course. See the results. If the problem is settled nothing more needs to be done except to take care to have home-made fresh food and sterilized water - boiled for 20 minutes and cooled. If the problem persists I would advise you to undergo tests of blood-routine and sugar, urine and stool tests, an ultrasonography and colonoscopy. This will give further idea about the probable diagnosis and a guideline for treatment. Wish you a good health.
