Dysentery is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal problems. According to studies, an estimated 165 million individuals worldwide are infected with bacillary dysentery, and 1.1 million people die each year due to the condition (1). You should start with home remedies for dysentery as soon as you suspect that you have the condition, as it may take away crucial time before you can get a doctor’s appointment. Dysentery may result in death if not treated promptly and adequately. So, it is critical to intervene as early as possible.

This article discusses the causes of dysentery, natural ways to relieve the symptoms, and ways to avoid it. Keep reading!

What Is Dysentery?

Dysentery is a digestive problem characterized by loose and watery stool containing blood.

It is accompanied by intestinal inflammation and stomach cramps. It can cause discomfort for a few hours or days. However, in some cases, it is known to last longer.

protip_icon Did You Know?
The Shigella bacteria was named after Japanese bacteriologist Kiyoshi Shiga. He was responsible for isolating the Shigella dysenteriae bacterium in the 19th century.

Dysenteric syndrome may be caused by shigella bacteria (shigellosis) and ameba. Bacillary dysentery is mild, while amebic dysentery is mostly severe and requires immediate medical intervention. Patients typically contract two types of dysentery. They are discussed below.

Key Takeaways

  • Increase fluid intake to keep yourself hydrated.
  • Take up the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast).
  • Consume probiotic foods to improve gut health.
  • Soothe the discomfort and inflammation with medicinal herbs like fenugreek, ginger, and chamomile.
  • Dysentery can sometimes even be confused with proctitis as they both include similar symptoms, such as bloody stool and abdominal discomfort.

Types Of Dysentery

  1. Acute Dysentery: Acute dysentery lasts for less than two weeks or 14 days. It is characterized by abdominal pain and loose motions. In rare cases, pus is observed in the stools.
  2. Chronic Dysentery: Chronic dysentery lasts for more than 30 days. If acute dysentery is not treated on time, it can turn chronic. The general health of the individual gets disturbed, and it can prove to be dangerous in the long run.

Some complications of dysentery are postinfectious arthritisi  A condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints. It is painful and worsens in old age. , generalized seizures, and hemolysisi  The breakdown of red blood cells that causes the release of hemoglobin from cells into the blood plasma. of red cells due to antibody formation. Amoebic dysentery may cause a liver abscess, which requires prolonged medical treatment and hospitalization for drainage.

How Does Dysentery Spread?

Dysentery typically spreads as a result of poor sanitary conditions and habits. The infection spreads through contact with food or water that has been contaminated with excreta.

Shigellosis (bacterial dysentery) is spread through close contact with an infected person and infection with contaminated food and drinks. Amoebic dysentery is primarily spread by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water in tropical areas that have poor sanitation.

What Causes Dysentery?

Dysentery is caused by Shigella bacteria or an ameba called Entamoeba histolytica. The most common cause of dysentery is poor sanitary conditions. Stale food, contaminated water, and exposure to human excreta are other causes of dysentery (2).

People living in overcrowded areas with poor standards of sanitation and regions of tropical climate are susceptible to contaminated food and water. This forms an easy channel for one to catch an infection that can cause dysentery. This infection can also be transferred through carriers, such as house flies, water, or food, and, in some cases, physical contact with another person carrying the infection (3).

What Are The Symptoms Of Dysentery?

  • Abdominal pain
  • Loose motions and tenesmus (the urge to empty the bowels)
  • Dehydration
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever
  • Convulsionsi  An abrupt, uncontrollable movement of your body's muscles brought on by disease or medication. (in rare cases) (4).

How Is Dysentery Diagnosed?

Dysentery can cause severe dehydration. Hence, it is imperative that you consult your doctor at the earliest. This condition can become potentially life-threatening if left untreated.

You will be asked if you traveled recently. Any travels out of the country can help your doctor determine the cause of dysentery. Since there are many factors that can cause dysentery, you might be asked to undergo a blood and stool test that can help determine the presence of bacteria. Depending on the results, you will be prescribed a course of antibiotics to eliminate the bacterial infection.

Dysentery OTC Treatment

There are several OTC medication options to help treat dysentery:

  • Bismuth subsalicylate (known as Pepto-Bismol) has an antisecretoryi  A drug that lowers a body fluid's normal secretion rate, generally one that lowers stomach acid production. effect on the digestive system (5). It can help relieve cramps and reduce frequent bowel movements. Avoid taking medicines like Loperamide that decrease peristalsis or bowel movement and can aggravate your condition (6).
  • Your doctor will prescribe a dose of antibiotics if you have a severe case of shigellosis.
  • The most important aspect of dysentery is to take care of dehydration. You can get oral rehydration solutions (ORS) and oral fluids as they can replenish the loss of water and electrolytes like sodium and potassium (7).
  • If you have amebic dysentery, you will be advised to take metronidazole or tinidazole that have antiprotozoali  A drug used to treat infections caused by protozoa which eliminates or hampers their capacity to develop and reproduce. activity and can help fight the infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica (8), (9).

In the case of severe dysentery, your doctor may suggest an intravenous (IV) drip to prevent dehydration.

Let’s take a look at home remedies to manage dysentery. These may help in mild to moderate cases of dysentery. However, in severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical intervention.

To reduce the risk of contracting dysentery, check out the next section for some simple prevention tips you can follow.

Prevention Tips

  • Make sure that the water you drink is potable as it is a major carrier of the infection-causing bacteria. You may boil water or use a water purifying system before drinking it.
  • Dysentery can also be caused by food that is contaminated due to poor hygiene. Make sure that everything you eat is washed diligently and cooked to eliminate germs.
  • Avoid consuming fruits and vegetables that are unpeeled or cut open.
  • Avoid milk and dairy products that have not been pasteurized as this can affect your stomach and cause dysentery.
  • Maintain excellent personal hygiene as dysentery can also spread from contact with a person or things that have been contaminated by the bacteria.
  • Use soap and water to wash yourself and your belongings to stop the spread of parasites and bacteria, especially before eating and after using the restroom.
  • Avoid consuming raw or undercooked food in places with questionable hygiene, and make sure food is prepared and stored correctly.

Dysentery is a serious gastrointestinal problem characterized by loose, watery, and even bloody stools (due to rectal bleeding), stomach cramps, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. It may be of two types, depending on whether it has been caused by the Shigella bacteria (shigellosis) or ameba (amebic dysentery). You may apply certain remedies for treating mild to moderate cases of shigellosis at home, but for amebic dysentery, you must seek emergency medical attention. Orange juice, raw papaya, lemon, buttermilk, green banana pulp, black tea, fenugreek seeds, and some other natural ingredients may help you manage dehydration and digestive issues. As shigellosis is self-limiting, you may expect to recover within a week. To prevent spreading the infection, avoid sharing personal items of use, cooking for other people, or contact with children or those with compromised immune systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dysentery contagious?

Dysentery is a contagious disease. Exposure to and contact with contaminated food and water increases your chances of contracting the disease.

Can dysentery kill you?

In some cases, dysentery may lead to severe diarrhea, characterized by mucus or blood in the stool. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening due to the extreme loss of fluids.
