What is Diarrhoea
An increase in the frequency of stools or the passage of loose, watery stools is called diarrhoea.
Diarrhoea represents a disruption in the normal passage of food and waste through the large intestine. Ordinarily, water is absorbed through the intestinal walls as food passes through the large intestine and faecal matter leaves the body as a solid mass. If something speeds up or otherwise interferes with this process, the fluid will be expelled from the body with faecal matter.
What Causes Diarrhoea?
Diarrhoea is the inflammation or irritation of the intestine. It is usually the result of a bacterial or viral infection.
