What is Diarrhea?
Diarrhea is defined as the frequent passing of loose, watery stools, often accompanied by abdominal cramps, bowel urgency, or intestinal discomfort. While a short bout may resolve on its own, persistent or severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and may signal an underlying digestive disorder that needs medical attention.
Symptoms of Diarrhea
You may need medical care if you experience:
- Frequent bowel movements (more than 3 times a day)
- Watery or runny stool
- Stomach cramps or bloating
- Urgent need to pass stool
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue, dry mouth, or signs of dehydration
- Fever, dizziness, or blood in stool (in severe cases)
Common Causes of Diarrhea
Diarrhea may be caused by:
- Intestinal infections (bacterial, viral, or parasitic)
- Foodborne illnesses and contaminated water
- Traveler’s diarrhea
- IBS-D (Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Diarrhea predominant)
- Lactose intolerance or other food sensitivities
- Side effects of medications
- C. difficile infection
- Inflammatory or chronic digestive conditions
- Stress or anxiety affecting gut motility
Types of Diarrhea
- Acute Diarrhea: Sudden onset, usually due to infections or food poisoning
- Chronic Diarrhea: Lasting more than 2 weeks, often linked to IBS, celiac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease
- Pediatric Diarrhea: Often caused by viral gastroenteritis, milk intolerance, or contaminated food/water
Diagnosis of Diarrhea
Our expert gastroenterologist in Andheri West will perform a detailed evaluation to determine the cause of diarrhea. Diagnostic steps may include:
