Diarrhoea is passing loose or more frequent stools than normal.
When you have diarrhoea, your bowel movements (or stools) are loose and watery. It’s common and usually not serious.
Many people get diarrhoea a few times a year. It normally lasts 2 to 3 days. Some people get it more often. It could be because they have irritable bowel syndrome or other conditions.
