Diarrhea is a common symptom, commonly known as "diarrhea", which means that the frequency of bowel movements is significantly higher than the usual frequency, the stool is thin, the water content is increased, the daily stool volume exceeds 200g, or contains undigested food or pus, blood, or mucus. Diarrhea is often accompanied by symptoms such as the urge to defecate, anal discomfort, and incontinence. In a normal person, about 9L of liquid enters the gastrointestinal tract every day. Through the absorption of water by the intestine, the final water content in the feces is only about 100 to 200ml. If the amount of fluid entering the colon exceeds the colon's absorption capacity or (and) the colon's absorption capacity decreases, it will lead to an increase in the amount of water excreted in the feces, resulting in diarrhea. Clinically, diarrhea is divided into two categories: acute and chronic according to the duration of the disease. Acute diarrhea develops rapidly and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, and is mostly caused by infection. Chronic diarrhea refers to recurrent diarrhea with a course of more than two months or an interval of 2 to 4 weeks. The cause of the disease is more complicated and may be caused by infectious or non-infectious factors.
