Diarrhea post op

PESS16

Has anyone developed diarrhea and fever post op? I'm day 5 post-op and just started having really bad diarrhea and a low fever. My doctor doesn't seem too concerned, just gave me a anti-pyretic and some powder for the diarrhea but I'm still kind of freaking out about this.

I had a low grade fever after my c section off and on. I did get diarrhea but that wasn't until 2 weeks or so afterwards. I have had stomach issues for a long time and I think the c section just aggravates your stomach and stuff. My doctor didn't seem concerned either but she doesn't get concerned about anything!!!

Yes, I've had diarrhea for a week now.  Going to the doctor on Monday. The first four days of it were REALLY painful, but now it is more of an annoyance.

Are you taking stool softners? I had diarrhea and my mom told me to quit taking the stool softeners that was prescribed to me. So i quit taking them and that helped a lot.

I had diarrhea, but no fever, after baby #1.  It was from the stool softeners...took them a little too long.  With #2, I stopped taking them as soon as I left the hospital and had no problems.  The fever would concern me more than the diarrhea though.

I had a bad case of diarrhea and low-grade fever 11 days PP with #2. It lasted maybe 12 hours, but it was awful. I feel so bad for anyone going through that!

I didn't call my doc because it was the weekend and didn't seem like an emergency, but I did stop eating for the weekend. I think I had toast and water and that was it. I did not want to look at food at all.
