In some diseases, the nature and frequency of feces changes. Also, during bowel movements, a burning sensation, pain, blood impurities and incomplete emptying can be observed. If a person visits the toilet more than three times a day, then frequent stools can be diagnosed. In an adult, the volume and mass of feces increases, their consistency and color change. Diarrhea is often a concern. This condition indicates a violation of the intestines. That is, there are problems with the adsorption of fluid in the colon and as a result, dehydration or electrolyte imbalance in the blood flow occurs. In order to avoid negative consequences, it is necessary to stop a frequent stool. In an adult, it is easier to restore the intestinal microflora and water balance than in a child. If diarrhea persists for more than three days, seek medical attention.
Causes of frequent stool in an adult
There are many prerequisites and direct factors that affect the condition of the intestine. In the vast majority of cases, frequent stool in an adult indicates the presence of infections. In response to pathogens, our body incorporates defense mechanisms to get rid of bacteria. The immune system removes pathogenic microorganisms and their waste products from the large intestine, preventing the toxins from being absorbed into the blood. The next cause of diarrhea is the uncontrolled use of antibiotics.
In the intestine, the process of absorption of nutrients and fluids is disrupted, and microflora deteriorates under the influence of negative factors. Often, loose stools in an adult are associated with inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal mucosa, food allergies, and malabsorption syndrome. All this is accompanied by pain and the appearance of fat in the feces. Against this background, anemia and vitamin deficiency often develop. Man dramatically loses kilograms.
Stagnation of bile can also cause diarrhea. The nature of the chair and its shade are changing. The interval between bowel movements is 15 minutes. A common cause of such phenomena is constant fasting and diets, especially in women. In addition, excessive consumption of fatty foods, alcoholic and carbonated drinks negatively affects the functioning of the intestinal tract.
What to do?
With multiple liquid bowel movements, you should carefully analyze your diet for the last three days. If, in addition to diarrhea, you develop heaviness in the right side and abdomen, nausea, flatulence, fever, bile or bloody clots in the feces, then consult a doctor immediately for a detailed examination.
You should refuse to take dairy products, chocolate, spirits, coffee and tea. Mineral water, activated carbon, a weak solution of potassium permanganate and the Regidron preparation will help alleviate symptoms. For seven days, take mucous porridge (rice, oatmeal), wheat crackers, cookies, jelly. Herbal infusions of chamomile will remove the inflammatory process. Frequent stool in an adult is not at all a harmless state, as it might seem at first glance. In the acute form, antibiotic therapy and a strict diet will be required to restore eubiosis.
