Diarrhea is defined as a defecation disorder characterized by the abnormal increase in volume and liquid stool content. Rather than a real illness, it is a symptom due to several factors.

Often the terms diarrhea and dysentery are improperly used as synonyms. Dysentery, on the other hand, is a much more severe diarrheal form, accompanied by liquid stools with traces of blood and mucus. The defecation, in these cases, can be painful and the discharges become so violent that they cannot be controlled by the will.
