Sometimes diarrhea is just a manifestation of intestinal dysfunction, and sometimes it is a manifestation of some diseases, so how should we treat diarrhea that occurs in our daily life? First of all, we need to start with the common causes of diarrhea. Intestinal dysfunction: Temporary disturbance of intestinal function caused by irritable bowel and emotions, excessive peristalsis, incomplete absorption of water, resulting in diarrhea, usually with the typical performance of abdominal pain – diarrhea – relief. Organic lesions: diarrhea that occurs due to reflex hyperperistalsis of the gastrointestinal tract caused by infection or inflammation of the abdominal organs, and also diarrhea caused by increased secretion and exudation due to intestinal infection. Others: non-digestive system diseases such as hyperthyroidism and certain neuroendocrine tumors, for example, may also cause diarrhea to occur. So how should we treat diarrhea? Diarrhea brings problems to our life, but from another point of view, diarrhea is a mechanism of self-protection of the body. From the most common diarrhea of bad stomach, it is mainly due to the ingestion of unclean food with multiplying pathogenic bacteria, which is found by the body to start the defense system and speed up the peristalsis to try to expel these harmful substances. In the absence of a clear cause of diarrhea, do not use their own unauthorized antibiotics, not only ineffective, but also bring the risk of intestinal flora imbalance. Generally speaking, diarrhea caused by irritable bowel or emotions or eating certain foods is self-limiting and does not require special treatment, while diarrhea caused by organic lesions requires prompt medical attention. When diarrhea with blood in the stool occurs, one needs to be alert for digestive bleeding. Diarrhea with semi-vomiting needs to be alerted to the possibility that it may be caused by suspected harmful toxic substances in the intestinal tract. Diarrhea with fever is usually a sign of secondary infection. All of these conditions require prompt hospital consultation and timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
