All About Diarrhea/Dysentry
Dr. Preeti Dass

Diarrhea and dysentery are common during summer months. There are certain sanitation measures that we can adopt to avoid suffering from diarrheal infection. Certain easy home remedies can also help prevent diarrhea and cure it too.

Diarrhea is a condition characterized by loose and watery stools. Diarrhea often means more frequent trips to the toilet and a greater volume of stool. A person with diarrhea typically passes stool more than 3 times a day. Diarrhea may cause a loss of significant amount of water and salts. Acute diarrhea is a common problem that usually lasts for 1or 2 days, and resolves itself without any treatment. Chronic diarrhea, on the other hand, generally lasts longer than 2 weeks.

Chronic or recurrent diarrhea may cause poor absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).
