What’s wrong with diarrhea?



Diarrhea with less urine is considered normal, as most of the water in the body is eliminated with the feces, so the amount of urine will be reduced.

Diarrhea is medically known as diarrhea and refers to a significant increase in the number of bowel movements, along with thin stools and increased water. In a normal person, about 9L of fluid enters the gastrointestinal tract each day, but as the intestines absorb the water, only about 100ml of water ends up in the feces.

If too much fluid enters the colon, this can lead to increased water excretion in the feces, resulting in diarrhea. While all the water in the body is excreted with the feces, the effective circulating blood volume decreases and the blood flow to the kidneys decreases, so the urine will become relatively less.

There are many reasons that lead to diarrhea and less urine, mainly related to improper diet, such as the intake of spicy and stimulating food caused by, or considered to be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, enteritis, food poisoning and other diseases. If the patient’s diarrhea is serious, you need to consult a doctor in time, cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, and if necessary, also need to replenish fluids, to avoid prolonged dehydration of the body.
