Diarrhoea
दस्त और लूज मोशन

दस्त (Diarrhoea) तब होता है जब आपको एक दिन में तीन या अधिक बार पानी जैसा या ढीला मल (loose watery stools) आता है। दस्त दो प्रकार के होते हैं: तीव्र (acute) जो दूषित भोजन/पानी के कारण 1-2 दिन रहता है, और क्रोनिक (chronic) जो 4 सप्ताह से अधिक समय तक बना रहता है। क्रोनिक दस्त आंतों के संक्रमण, आईबीडी (जैसे अल्सरेटिव कोलाइटिस), ग्लूटेन से होने वाली एलर्जी (Celiac Disease) या इरिटेबल बाउल सिंड्रोम (IBS) के कारण हो सकता है।

Symptom Overview

Understanding Diarrhoea

दस्त में बार-बार पानी जैसा मल आता है। 4 सप्ताह से अधिक रहने वाला दस्त गंभीर आंत रोगों (IBD, कोलाइटिस, ग्लूटेन एलर्जी) का संकेत हो सकता है।

Doctor's Reassurance

"While acute diarrhea is self-limiting, persistent diarrhea leads to dehydration and requires diagnosis. Dr. Akhilesh Yadav uses targeted stool assays, celiac screens, and colonoscopy to find the exact intestinal cause."
