Definition
Diarrhea is the condition of having at least three loose, liquid or watery bowel movements each day. It sometimes lasts for a few days and can cause dehydration due to the loss of fluid.[1]
Symptoms
Other symptoms include decreased urination, fast heart rate and loose and frequent bowel movements.[1]
Causes
The most common cause is an infection of the intestines, known as gastroenteritis, which is caused by either viruses, bacteria, or parasites.[1]
Risk factors
These infections are often acquired from food or water that has been contaminated by feces, or directly from another person who is infected.[1]
Treatments
Oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc tablets are used to treat diarrhea. Maintaining healthy eating habits and drinking clean water is recommended.[1]
