Hello doctor,
I don't understand why I have had loose stools for 4 days now, just in the morning I stopped drinking a glass of water and went to the toilet 3 times. Her stools are dark brown in color. I can only walk a little bit each time, but after walking for 30 minutes, I feel like going again. So the doctor asked me to ask if it's okay to have dark brown liquid stools? What should I do doctor? I thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have dark brown liquid stools? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have a new condition with loose stools that appeared a few days ago. More importantly, the stool is dark brown in color. According to the doctor, you should see a doctor immediately at a reputable medical facility because dark brown stool color can be bloody or simply due to increased pigmentation in the stool. Depending on the cause, your doctor will prescribe the right treatment for you.
If you still have questions about dark brown liquid stools, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
