When to Be Worried About Diarrhea

Experiencing loose stools can be an everyday occurrence, but having four or more loose stools within a day can be a sign of diarrhea. It's not a significant concern if you've had one loose stool recently, but if this persists and happens more than four times within 24 hours, it's essential to pay attention to it.

On the other end of the spectrum, there's dysentery, a severe form of diarrhea often accompanied by blood in the stool. Although diarrhea may not be a significant concern initially, seeking medical attention as soon as possible is crucial to prevent any potential complications.

Thanks, Dr. Gill. Enjoy all of your videos tremendously. As a 43 year old man who’s recently been diagnosed with PVC arrhythmia, I wonder if you could do a short on this explaining what it is, and when to be concerned. Thank you for time, Dr.

I feel like this is a trick question. When to be concerned about diarrhea? How about when you board a full international flight with one working bathroom?
