What is the reason for frequent diarrhea? It is mostly enteritis

Diarrhea is the most common disease. It can occur due to improper diet or catching a cold. If you often have diarrhea in your daily life, you should pay attention and go for a check-up in time. It is very likely that you have enteritis. Enteritis can cause great harm if it is not cured in time.

1. Epidemiological surveys in recent years have found that the disease spectrum of the population in cities in my country's coastal and economically developed regions has undergone major changes decades ago, and is increasingly moving closer to the disease spectrum of the population in developed countries. In the past, some diseases that were thought to occur only in European and American countries but rarely in my country (such as inflammatory bowel disease) have also continued to appear in recent years, and the incidence has shown a clear upward trend. This is not unrelated to the increasing "globalization" of our lifestyle and dietary structure, and may also be related to the fact that clinicians have a better understanding of the disease than before.

2. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can occur at any age, but is most common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar ratio between men and women. In recent years, the incidence of adolescent patients has become increasingly serious. In clinical practice, we often encounter some particularly "small" IBD patients who look only eleven or twelve years old, but are actually nearly twenty years old. This is because the lesions of IBD are mainly in the intestines, which directly affects the body's metabolism and absorption of nutrients and affects the growth and development of the children. Therefore, they always look shorter than children of the same age. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease often experience pain around the umbilicus or in the lower abdomen, abdominal distension, and abnormal bowel movement characteristics and frequency.

In mild cases, patients may have mushy stools 2 to 4 times a day, while in severe cases, patients may have pus-like stools or even fresh blood in their stools 10 to 30 times a day. Some patients may have fever symptoms. Severe cases may develop systemic toxemia, loss of water, electrolytes, vitamins, proteins, etc. from the intestines and anorexia, leading to weight loss and decreased physical strength. Although inflammatory bowel disease is a lifelong disease, it may improve on its own at a certain period of time. Therefore, some people may think that they have "cured" the disease by taking berberine or antibiotics, but ignore the warning signs and fail to seek medical treatment in time, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment. Some patients only seek medical treatment in a hurry when they develop obstruction, cancer, or cachexia. This not only loses the best chance of recovery, but also brings indelible pain to themselves and their families.

3. Inflammatory bowel disease has always been a hot topic in digestive disease research in Western countries, and has also received increasing attention from Chinese medical experts in recent years. The cause of IBD is still unclear, but its onset may be related to immune, genetic, infectious and mental factors. In view of these pathogenic factors, the treatment of IBD should also adopt a comprehensive treatment method: patients should pay attention to rest and calmness, eat a soft diet with less residue, eat small meals frequently, supplement with multiple vitamins, and eat less or no milk and dairy products. Drug treatment is a very important link, and strictly following the doctor's orders on time and in fixed quantities is the primary principle.
