Is it normal to have diarrhea four times a day at nine months pregnant?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of diarrhea include intestinal infections (such as bacterial dysentery), food poisoning enteritis, and simple diarrhea, among others. For mild simple diarrhea, it can generally be cured by taking anti-diarrheal medication. Diarrhea caused by intestinal inflammation is characterized by a significant increase in bowel movements, abdominal pain, hyperactive bowel sounds, increased intestinal peristalsis, and easy irritation of uterine contractions, which may lead to miscarriage.
