diarrhea

Diarrhea is a symptom that occurs quite frequently in the population. It is, in fact, one of the reasons for consulting primary care physician more frequently. In many cases, appears in the so-called epidemics or “pass.” We speak of an epidemic when the number of patients with symptoms of gastroenteritis (or any other disease in which presupposes an infectious cause) is higher than by chance to hit. To understand this term, perhaps the most illustrative is the epidemic of influenza: Few if any cases during the year except the month, or month and a half in which it appears (approximately December to February). And during that time, a high percentage of the population is affected.

In the case of diarrhea, these epidemics or raisins, which used to be in the hot summer months, more and more frequently we see out of them. The reason is the mildness of our climate and, of course, global warming, which now makes for more months, we benefit from a temperature typical of summer months. By itself, diarrhea continues to be a symptom rather nonspecific, in that it may be a reflection of many pathologies, from very different backgrounds. However, nature is wise, and protective, in the sense that the vast majority of cases of diarrhea seen in health centers have a viral origin, and therefore quite benign.
