Diarrhoea is defined as the passage of more than 200 g of stool daily, and measurement of stool volume is helpful in confirming this. The most severe symptom in many patients is urgency of defecation, and faecal incontinence.
Acute diarrhoea
This is extremely common and is usually due to faecal–oral transmission of bacteria or their toxins, viruses. Infective diarrhoea is usually shortlived and patients who present with a history of diarrhoea lasting more than 10 days rarely have an infective cause.
Chronic or relapsing diarrhoea
The most common cause is irritable bowel syndrome, which can present with increased frequency of defecation and loose, watery or pellety stools.
