Finding Relief from Acute and Chronic Diarrhoea
Dr. Tushar Madake provides expert diagnosis and treatment for diarrhoea, from short-term infections to chronic conditions like IBS, IBD, and malabsorption syndromes.
Diarrhoea is characterized by loose, watery stools occurring more frequently than usual. While often short-lived, chronic diarrhoea can be debilitating and signal an underlying disorder. Dr. Madake focuses on identifying the cause and restoring normal bowel function.
Common Causes We Treat
- Viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D)
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis)
- Celiac disease and food intolerances (lactose, fructose)
- Medication side effects (antibiotics, laxatives)
When to Seek Help
- Diarrhoea lasting more than 2 days
- Signs of dehydration (thirst, dry mouth, little urination)
- Severe abdominal or rectal pain
- Blood or pus in the stool
- Fever above 102°F (39°C)
Dr. Madake's Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
We use a systematic approach to uncover the root cause and provide effective relief.
- Detailed History & Evaluation: We assess symptom pattern, diet, travel history, and medications.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Depending on the case, we may use stool tests, blood tests, hydrogen breath tests (for intolerances), and endoscopic procedures (colonoscopy) to visualize the colon and take biopsies.
- Targeted Treatment: Treatment is cause-specific and may include antibiotics for infections, anti-inflammatory drugs for IBD, dietary modification for intolerances, and medications to manage IBS.
- Hydration & Nutritional Support: We provide guidance on fluid replacement (oral rehydration solutions) and nutritional strategies to prevent malnutrition during and after episodes.
- Long-Term Management: For chronic conditions, we develop a long-term management plan to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
