Diarrhea may seem like a minor, non-serious disease. If left for a while, it will go away on its own. However, if you have diarrhea with the following symptoms, Dr. Chanakan Wuttiprayoon, a general practitioner at the เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย app, considers it a severe symptom. It may cause the body to become dehydrated, leading to shock. Or, if the diarrhea is chronic, it may cause ulcers in the intestines, expanding to the point of the intestine perforation.

Definition of Diarrhea 

It is a condition where the body has loose stools or watery stools more than 3 times within 24 hours or has bloody mucus stools once. It can occur from many causes, such as infections in the digestive system, eating spicy food, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or taking certain medications.

There are 3 types of diarrhea:

1. Acute diarrhea – is a common symptom. Symptoms usually last 1-3 days and then disappear on their own. 
2. Persistent diarrhea – is diarrhea that lasts for 2-4 weeks. 
3. Chronic diarrhea –   is diarrhea that lasts for more than 4 weeks.
