Diarrhea is a condition that occurs when there are three or more loose bowel movements per day. There are many causes of diarrhea but the primary mechanisms that happens are: increased fluid secretion in the intestines, less time for stool to exit the intestines, or less fluid absorption from the intestines. The symptoms of diarrhea are generally similar which includes abdominal pain, cramping, increased frequency of bowel movements, and loose stool. Fever and other symptoms may or may not be present depending on the cause of diarrhea.
In most cases, diarrhea usually lasts a few days but when it lasts for several weeks, it can be an indication of a serious underlying disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or persistent infection. The complications of diarrhea that can happen are dehydration, anal irritation, and electrolyte imbalances. In severe cases, the loss of fluids and electrolytes can be fatal.
