Diarrhea

Suddenly begun, acute and colicy pains in a stomach, the speeded-up bowel emptying, fever and the general weakness of an organism first of all suggest an idea that the day before "something was eaten not that" …

Really, sharp deterioration in health can be provoked by the low-quality, badly washed up or stale product which got into a stomach. But a disease of diarrhea extremely artful and absolutely not so harmlessly as it is considered to be. Duration of disease and degree of its weight first of all depend on the reason which caused diarrhea.

Diarrhea reasons

Food poisoning takes the first position in the list of the reasons of diarrhea causing this unpleasant state. Almost any, visually not causing suspicions, food can be infected with bacteria, viruses or parasites who "detonate", having got into a stomach of the person. Usually at food poisoning symptoms of diarrhea are poorly expressed and short-term, but in some cases without the corresponding treatment the disease can lead to dehydration, a renal failure and even to a lethal outcome.

The digestive disturbance carrying the name diarrhea is an acute defense reaction of an organism at any age on various the irritating agents who got into digestive tract of the person. Allergic, virus or toxic substances are among such agents.

The exact reason of diarrhea can be established only by results of laboratory researches, but in most cases it is not required. The disease passes in itself without medical intervention. The only necessary condition for treatment of diarrhea and self-healing is strict observance of the feeding and drinking schedule. The plentiful use of liquid is necessary to exclude a possibility of development of dehydration of an organism.

Besides, there is a threat of development of sepsis in connection with hit of bacteria in a blood stream.

The age of the patient having diarrhea is the first-priority reason for a visit to the doctor. If it has to is about small children treatment to begin, as soon as possible, therefore the address to the doctor has to take place immediately!

Features of a structure of digestive tract contribute to development of diarrhea in children most often against the background of a rotavirusny infection. The age up to two years is especially dangerous period in respect of developing of the complicated diarrhea at children as disease is unpredictable and extremely quickly there can come disturbance of electrolytic balance and full dehydration of an organism.

The first symptoms of diarrhea at children or even suspicion for the beginning of its emergence have to force parents to ask urgently for the help in medical institution.
