Diarrhea is the medical term for loose, watery feces that happen more frequently than usual. The most common causes of diarrhea are viruses and occasionally tainted food. Less frequently, it might be a symptom of another condition such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.
Frequent, loose, watery feces and abdominal pain are symptoms of diarrhea. Most instances resolve themselves. Antibiotics may be necessary for some infections. Dehydration brought on by severe cases may be sufficient to call for intravenous fluids.
Diarrhea can be broken down into three fundamental groups: fatty (malabsorption), watery, and inflammatory. There are three main categories of watery diarrhea: osmotic, secretory, and functional. Irritable bowel syndrome, the most typical cause of functional diarrhea, also causes watery diarrhea.
