Diarrhoea is common and often resolves within a few days. When it continues, repeatedly returns or represents a significant change from your normal bowel habits, it is important to seek medical advice.

Persistent diarrhoea can have several causes, including infection, medication, food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease or another colorectal condition.

A specialist can review your symptoms, medical history and any associated concerns, such as bleeding, urgency, pain or weight loss, before recommending appropriate tests or treatment.
