Is It Normal to Have 2-3 Loose Stools with Abdominal Pain Per Day?
Diarrhea clinically refers to the condition of having loose bowel movements, while abdominal pain clinically refers to pain in the abdomen. Having 2-3 bowel movements per day accompanied by abdominal pain and diarrhea is abnormal and may be caused by acute gastroenteritis or functional dyspepsia, which can be treated with medication.
1. Acute Gastroenteritis: If a patient consumes spoiled or unsanitary food, it can easily lead to acute gastroenteritis. The causes of acute gastroenteritis are also related to bacterial infections. After becoming ill, patients may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and other symptoms. Some patients have 2-3 bowel movements a day and can take medication such as YanChanning Tablets and Compound Xianhecao Enteritis Tablets orally under a doctor's guidance.
2. Functional Dyspepsia: The causes of functional dyspepsia are related to dietary factors. Excessive stomach acid can also cause this condition. After becoming ill, it can easily lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and upper abdominal fullness. Some patients have 2-3 bowel movements a day and can take medication such as Lactobacillus Tablets and Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules orally under a doctor's guidance.
During treatment, patients should develop good lifestyle habits and eat light and easy-to-digest food, which is beneficial for the recovery of the disease.
