More Information
"Diarrhoea is a common digestive condition characterised by frequent, loose, or watery bowel movements often caused by viral infections, bacterial contamination, or dietary triggers. Typical symptoms include abdominal cramps, urgency, and bloating, which can vary significantly in intensity depending on the individual and the underlying cause. You can start a private consultation on Mail My Meds today to assess your symptoms and access suitable clinical guidance for managing your recovery." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)
Diarrhoea is a digestive health issue where you pass looser or more frequent stools than is normal for you. It occurs when the lining of the large intestine becomes inflamed or irritated, preventing the absorption of water and leading to fluid loss. Most cases are acute and resolve within a few days, though the impact on your daily routine can be significant.
Common causes of diarrhoea include stomach viruses, food poisoning, medicine side effects, and stress or anxiety. Symptoms often involve watery stools, stomach pain, and feeling sick, though these vary between people. While some experience mild discomfort, others may deal with severe dehydration or high temperatures.
