Hi everyone, and hallo Bu Siwi.
my greatest sweetest the best
beloved lecturer. Thank you for clicking this video, Aight, so in
this video, I’m going to have like chilling time with you guys
my dearest audiences by talking about.... diarrhea. Before we
jump to the main topic, I just want to tell you guys something,
so Basically it’s okay for me if I’m not gonna make this video
for my English assignment, but because I have much much time
during quarantine, I decided to join this... thing. So yeah,
without any further do, let’s jump to the main topic.
Disclaimer... disclaimer, if I’m looking down right here like a
lot, so it means I’m reading my research, because, it’s chilling
talk guys, don’t be so formal. Okay?
Aight, the first session, let’s talk about the definition of diarrhea,
so let me explain a little bit what is diarrhea actually mean?
Diarrhea is a common medical condition that is characterized by
increased frequency of bowel movements and increased
liquidity of stool. In epidemiological studies, diarrhea is usually
defined as the passage of three or more loose or watery stools in
a 24-h period, a loose stool being one that takes the shape of a
stool container. Although acute diarrhea is typically self-
limiting, it can be severe and can lead to profound dehydration,
which can lead to abnormally low blood volume, low blood
pressure, and damage to the kidneys, heart, liver, brain and other
organs.
And next, the symptoms of diarrhea.
1. ofc Dehydrationa
Diarrhea can cause dehydration. Loss of electrolytes through
dehydration affects the amount of water in the body, muscle
activity and other important functions.
Sign of dehydration in adults include: thirst, less frequent
urination than usual, dark-colored urine, dry skin, fatigue,
dizziness, light-headedness.
Sign of dehydration in infants and young children include: dry
mouth and tongue, no tears when crying, no wet diapers for 3
hours or more, sunken eyes, cheeks or soft spot in the skull, high
fever, listlessness or irritability.
2. Functional bowel disorders: diarrhea can be a sympom of
irritable bowel syndrome
3. Intestinal deseases: Imflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative
colitis, crohn’s disease, and celiac disease often lead to
diarrhea.
4. food intolerances and sensitivities: some people have
difficulty digesting certain ingredients, such as lactose, the sugar
found in milk and milk products. Some people may have
diarrhea if the eat certain types of sugar substitutes in excessive
quantities.
5. Reaction to medicines: antibiotics, cancer drugs and antacids
containing magnesium can all cause diarrhea.

Prevention and control of diarrhea
When should adults with diarrhea see a health care provider?
There are any of following symptoms that adults and children
should see a health care provider:
1. signs of dehydration
2. diarrhea for more than 24 hours
3. a fever of 102 degrees f or higher
4. stools containing blood or pus
5. stools that are black and tarry
Move to the next session, the treatment of diarrhea
1. oral rehydration is the most significant medical advance
during this century in terms of a cost-effective, simple but
elegant intervention to save countless lives otherwise lost to
dehydrating diarrhea.
2. Early re-feeding is now recommended in children with
diarrhea. Diarrhea abates so quickly with modem therapy that
dietary adjustment often is not necessary. Milk, fruits,
vegetables, and red meat should be added to the diet only when
the diarrhea has abated.
3. Some experts argue that improvement of symptoms is only
minimal following treatment with an antibiotic. They point to
small, albeit statistically significant, changes in the mean
number of stools passed per day afforded by antibiotic
treatment.
