Frequent Bowel Movement Treatment in India

Pooja Davis, a 28-year-old high school teacher, had always been active and health-conscious. Over the past six months, she began experiencing urgent, frequent bowel movements, often 6-8 times a day, with loose, watery stools. This disrupted her ability to teach her classes without sudden, embarrassing dashes to the restroom. She felt constantly fatigued and anxious about leaving the house. Her primary care physician referred her to a gastroenterologist. The doctor recommended a colonoscopy to rule out inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. Pooja was nervous about the procedure and the sedation. The preparation was challenging, but the staff was reassuring. The colonoscopy itself was painless, and she woke up feeling groggy but relieved. The results showed mild, patchy inflammation consistent with Crohn's disease. While the diagnosis was life-changing, Pooja felt a profound sense of relief in finally having an answer. Starting on a targeted medication and dietary plan, her symptoms improved dramatically within weeks. The emotional journey shifted from one of fear, isolation, and shame to empowerment and hope. She now manages her condition and has regained control of her life and career.
