To poop several times a day may be because of gastrointestinal peristalsis, acute gastroenteritis, and taking highly permeable drugs.
1. Excessive gastrointestinal motility: abdominal or intestinal cold stimulation, taking mosapride, excessive secretion of thyroxine, can cause excessive gastrointestinal motility, intestinal contents through the intestinal tract quickly, and the intestinal mucosa contact time is too short, the absorption of water and electrolytes, diarrhea occurs.
2. Acute gastroenteritis: bacterial, viral or parasitic infections can trigger inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, the integrity of the mucosa is destroyed, a large number of body fluids leaking into the intestinal lumen, resulting in diarrhea; inflammation can also cause intestinal malabsorption, resulting in diarrhea.
3. Taking high osmotic drugs: oral magnesium sulfate and other high osmotic drugs have the role of diarrhea, which is not easily absorbed, will cause the intestinal lumen osmotic pressure increases, a large amount of water into the intestinal lumen, stimulate intestinal peristalsis leading to diarrhea.
To poop several times a day may also have other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, give targeted treatment or treatment.
