About the disease & condition

Diarrhea is a common digestive condition characterised by frequent, loose, or watery stools. It usually occurs due to infections, contaminated food or water, or digestive problems. Diarrhea can be short-term (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Although often mild, it can become serious if it leads to dehydration, especially in children and older adults. Proper hygiene, safe food practices, and early care help reduce complications and support quick recovery.
