The key to diagnosing diarrhea is the diagnosis of the primary disease or cause, which must be based on the onset and course of the disease, the age of onset, the affected population, the frequency of diarrhea and the nature of the stool, accompanying symptoms and signs, and routine tests, especially stool tests.

Acute diarrhea should first be identified based on medical history, season of onset, and accompanying systemic symptoms, whether it is infectious diarrhea caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc., or diarrhea caused by food poisoning, drugs, or other diseases. The identification of pathogenic bacteria depends on stool culture, and some parasites such as Giardia require intestinal mucosal biopsy.

Chronic diarrhea can be diagnosed through medical history, physical examination, digital rectal examination, routine stool culture and detection of ova and parasites, stool fat measurement, gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy, etc. First, it should be determined whether the diarrhea originates from the small intestine or the colon.

If it is small intestinal diarrhea, further barium meal examination, small intestine endoscopy and other laboratory tests should be performed to determine whether it is organic or functional. If it is colonic diarrhea, a colonoscopy should be performed to observe whether there is a tumor, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, etc.
