Diarrhea and unshaped stools need to be adjusted and treated according to different causes. There are many reasons for diarrhea and unshaped stools, including organic lesions, such as chronic pancreatitis, colon polyps, gallbladder polyps, intestinal dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome and so on.
1. Chronic pancreatitis: It is a chronic inflammation that occurs in the pancreas, which can lead to diarrhea, unformed stools, accompanied by weight loss, elevated blood sugar and other symptoms. Usually, we should avoid overeating, eat regular meals, reduce the consumption of high-fat and high-protein foods, mainly use pancreatic enzymes for replacement, and endoscopic treatment to reduce the internal pressure of the pancreatic duct if necessary.
2. Colon polyps: mainly manifested as intermittent blood in the stool or blood on the surface of the stool, which can also lead to diarrhea and unformed stool. For small amount of bleeding, aspirin can be given to stop the bleeding. For larger amount of bleeding, the polyp should be removed by colonoscopy or other minimally invasive surgery.
3. Gallbladder polyp: It is a lesion in which the gallbladder wall protrudes or bulges out into the gallbladder cavity, which can also lead to diarrhea and unformed stools. You can follow the doctor’s instructions to use anti-inflammatory cholagogue tablets and ursodeoxycholic acid tablets to improve the function of the biliary tract, and to fundamentally change the nature and habits of bowel movements.
4. Intestinal dysfunction: also known as functional gastrointestinal disease, related to psychological, disease and other factors, can be manifested as diarrhea, stools do not form. Diet can be adjusted, with the taking of drugs to promote gastrointestinal function, such as domperidone and so on.
5. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): it can also be manifested as diarrhea and irregular bowel movements. Lifestyle can be adjusted first, and loperamide should be used to stop diarrhea or trimethoprim maleate to adjust the intestinal function in serious cases.
The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
