The Diagnosis of Your Disease is Diarrhea. Is It Correct ?

There are many misunderstandings about diarrhea. Diarrhea is a symptom, not a diagnosis of your disease. The most important thing if you have diarrhea is the degree of dehydration.  Dehydration is very dangerous because human body can’t maintain the homeostasis state without enough water.  Severe dehydration is fatal complication of diarrhea.

If your body temperature is more than 37,5 C, it means that you have fever. Diarrhea and fever are the sign of infection in your gastrointestinal tract ( Gastroenteritis ). Now, what is the cause ?

You can check your feces. The pathogen is Vibro cholerae if your feces is like rice water. Shigella dysentriae is the cause, if you can see blood in the feces ( red feces ). If the cause is Giardia lamblia, you’ll find pear-shaped parasit with flagella under microscope ( bring your feces to Parasitology Lab ).

If your temperature is 36,5 – 37,5 C, you maybe not infected by pathogen. However, you need to reassure that there is no pathogen in your body. The temperature is normal and diarrhea only happens in the certain situation ( e.g., when you are not ready to face final exam in your school ). The cause is problably from your psychological state. You need to go to the psychiatrist.

Your temperature is normal and your psychological state is fine, but you have diarrhea only after you eat certain food ( e.g., spicy food, acidic food, milk, etc. ).  You may have alergic condition or food poisoning because of the food.

Please go to your doctor to treat your diarrhea condition !
