About Diarrhea

Diarrhea occurs when the stool becomes watery and vaginal.

If you have diarrhea, your stool (or discharge) will loosen and become vaginal. It is usually not a big concern.

Many people have diarrhea several times a year. It usually lasts 2 to 3 days. Some people bring it more often. The cause is most likely caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other symptoms.

Diarrhea may last less than 4 weeks, sudden (acute) or persistent (chronic). This booklet describes common acute diarrhea. In most cases, the diarrhea goes away after a few days, but it may take longer. The main danger is a lack of fluid (dehydration).

The main treatment is to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. It should also be consumed as easily as possible. See a doctor if you suspect symptoms of dehydration or if you have any of the following symptoms of concern:
