​Diarrhoea ​

Diarrhoea is a digestive disorder related to bowel movements in which the stool becomes loose and watery and the frequency of passing stool increases. Diarrhoea may occur in one of the following two forms:

  • Acute Diarrhoea: this is short-lived and only last for 1-3 days. It may occur due to a viral infection or by consuming unsafe and unhygienic food and water containing pathogenic bacteria. 

  • Chronic Diarrhoea: this is a more severe form of diarrhoea, is long-lived and continues for many weeks. It may be caused due to any existing disease or food intolerances. 

Diarrhoea is often related to malabsorption in which the small intestine is unable to absorb nutrients from the food, which results in watery stools and lack of nutrients from the body. Diarrhoea lasting up to several days may result in dehydration (loss of water from body); worsening the patient’s health by disturbing the nutrient balance in the body. ​
