What is the reason for frequent diarrhea and unformed stools?

Frequent diarrhea and loose stools are common problems, and in many cases, these symptoms may be caused by poor diet. Unclean diet can easily lead to infection with bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause diarrhea. Some may be caused by indigestion or gastrointestinal dysfunction.

1. Unclean food

Due to unclean diet, infections such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, etc. can cause diarrhea, resulting in unformed stools and frequent loose stools.

2. Caused by enteritis

Enteritis caused by drug abuse, viral infection, etc. can also lead to unformed stools and loose stools.

3. Caused by indigestion

Irregular eating habits, overeating, eating indigestible food, or food retention in the stomach due to insufficient gastric motility can cause unformed stools, frequent bowel movements, and loose stools.

4. Gastrointestinal dysfunction

The stool is unformed and loose due to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which is often manifested as alternating constipation and diarrhea.

5. Long-term abnormal stool can also cause the following anorectal diseases:

hemorrhoid

Defecation increases intra-abdominal pressure, leading to increased blood pressure. Coupled with the friction of feces, it can cause hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed.

Anal fissure

During defecation, dry feces rub against the anal skin, causing tears and bright red blood in the stool. Anal fissures can cause anal pain during or after defecation.

Anal fistula

The blood in the stool is mixed with the feces, the amount is small, and it is bright red. There is a feeling of tenesmus and tenderness in the left lower abdomen, and symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting will appear.
