Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is the passing of looser, watery, or more frequent stools than is normal for you. It is a common occurrence that affects most people from time to time and is typically not a cause for concern. While it can be distressing and unpleasant, it usually clears up within a few days to a week. However, in some cases, it can be a symptom of serious conditions such as Crohn’s disease.

Possible causes of diarrhoea include bowel infections (gastroenteritis) caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites, anxiety, allergies, medication, and long-term conditions such as irritable bowl syndrome (IBS).
