Loose motions cause and solution

     Loose motions

 

Loose motion is a term commonly used to describe diarrhea, which is a condition characterized by frequent and watery bowel movements. Loose motions may be caused by a variety of factors, including viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, intestinal parasites, lactose intolerance, or certain medications.

 

Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other complications, particularly in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Treatment for loose motions typically involves increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration, avoiding certain foods that can exacerbate symptoms, and, in some cases, taking medications to address the underlying cause of the condition. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you are experiencing persistent or severe loose motions, as they may be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.

 

Sign of loose motion

The main sign of loose motion is frequent bowel movements that are loose, watery, and may contain mucus or blood. Other signs and symptoms that may accompany loose motion include:

·       Nausea and vomiting



·       Weakness or fatigue



·       Fever



·       Headache




·       Abdominal cramps or pain




  Dehydration (dry mouth, decreased urine output, dark yellow urine, feeling thirsty)

 

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to increase your fluid intake to prevent dehydration and to avoid certain foods that may exacerbate your symptoms. If your symptoms are severe or persistent, or if you notice blood in your stool or a high fever, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, as this could indicate a more serious underlying condition.


Popular and effective remedies for loose motion treatment include:

Yoghurt

Yoghurt is one of the best home remedies for loose motions. It is rich in probiotics, which are living microorganisms that promote good gut health and can help prevent diarrhoea as well.

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice has anti-inflammatory properties, which make it one of the best medicines for loose motion. It has a soothing effect, rehydrates the body, and relieves intestinal pain. Lemon juice can be combined with water and a pinch of salt, coriander powder, and mint

Pomegranate

Pomegranates have anti-inflammatory properties and are among the most effective home remedies for an upset stomach and loose motions.

Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek seeds are also a popular at-home treatment for loose motion and abdominal discomfort, thanks to their antibacterial and antifungal properties. One can take 1-2 teaspoons of dried fenugreek seeds and powder them. The fine powder can be mixed in a glass of water and consumed every day in the morning on an empty stomach. Doing this for 2-3 days can relieve the discomfort and pain caused by the symptoms.

Mustard Seeds

The antibacterial properties of mustard seeds make them a great cure for loose motion. Consuming 1/4th teaspoon of mustard seeds that have been soaked in a tablespoon of water for an hour is an effective treatment and can be repeated 2-3 times a day. 

Honey

Honey has been used as a natural medicine for loose motion for ages. A teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon, mixed in a glass of warm water should be consumed in the morning on an empty stomach for best results.

Bananas

Considered by many to be the best food for loose motion, bananas are high in potassium and pectin (a soluble fibre) and work very well to improve bowel movement. Other than this, bananas also help replenish lost electrolytes.

Cumin Seeds

Cumin seeds can do much more than just add flavour to a dish. Cumin tea can help treat loose motion as it helps improve digestion. Cumin tea can be prepared by boiling a teaspoon of cumin seeds in a cup of water and straining it.

Sago

Sago is another effective home remedy for treating loose motions and improving digestion. A handful of sago, soaked in enough water for 3 hours and strained, can provide quick relief from stomach pain.

Salt-Sugar Water

Loose motions may cause excessive fluid loss and dehydration. A homemade oral rehydration solution of 5-6 teaspoons of salt and sugar, each in a litre of water can be sipped throughout the day to treat the dehydration and help with fatigue and weakness.


Loose motions generally get resolved quite soon and may even be a one-time occurrence. But if the symptoms continue to get worse and last for more than 2-3 days, they may be indicative of a more serious underlying medical condition. Chronic loose motions, sudden weight loss, blood in stools, tar-like stools, severe dehydration, fainting, confusion, chills, fever, etc. are signs that one should visit their doctor at the earliest for proper diagnosis of their condition.

  SYMTOMS OF KIDNEY PROBLEM Kidney problems can range from mild to severe and may be caused by a variety of factors, such as infections, high blood pressure, kidney stones, or with other medical problems. Some common symptoms of kidney problems :  1    Loss of appetite Many patients with kidney disease complain about a loss of appetite, an odd taste in their mouth, or feeling full quickly. This is because the decline in kidney function can affect the substances that regulate your appetite. Additionally, built-up waste in the blood can cause a metallic taste in your mouth that can prevent you from enjoying normal foods.
