What Causes Diarrhea?
9. Complications
Diarrhea is an unpleasant symptom and it will also likely be accompanied with other unwelcome symptoms like abdomen pain and spasms. It can also make things difficult for the patient as they become reluctant to be too far away from a bathroom. Diarrhea will also sometimes cause potentially severe complications.
In cases of severe diarrhea, water is regularly being passed out of the body before it can be absorbed. This can mean the body is not getting the water it needs, and this can result in dehydration. Severe dehydration is among the most common causes of death from digestive system issues, and vulnerable patients should be monitored closely.
