Answer:
Diarrhoea is when you have frequent loose watery bowel motions. In most cases, the symptoms resolve on their own within a couple of days without the need for medical treatment.
Diarrhoea that lasts one or two days and goes away on its own is known as acute diarrhoea, which is a common condition that affects people of all ages. Diarrhoea lasting four weeks or more (whether continuous or intermittent) is known as chronic diarrhoea and can be a symptom of an underlying chronic disease or condition.
Causes
Acute (or brief) diarrhoea is usually caused by a bacterial (eg, salmonella), viral (eg, norovirus or rotavirus), or parasitic (eg, giardia) infection of the bowels. Diarrhoea caused by any of these infections is referred to as gastroenteritis.
Travel to places where the climate or sanitary practices differ form one's home country may cause short-term gastroenteritis (eg from contaminated food or water) and is known as traveller's diarrhoea. Diarrhoea associated with jet lag will usually subside in a matter of days without treatment.
The most common causes of chronic diarrhoea are underlying diseases or conditions, including:
Gluten intolerance (coeliac disease)
Lactose intolerance (inability to properly digest lactose in dairy products)
Irritable bowel syndrome
Chronic bowel infection
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Bowel cancer.
You should see your doctor if you are concerned that you might have any of these conditions.
Chronic diarrhoea can also occur when taking certain medications, e.g. some antibiotics and cancer drugs.
