loose motion is good or bad - #13900

Yash

I am kinda confused about what’s happening with my stomach. A few days ago, I started having loose motion, which has been going on for like three days now. At first, I thought maybe it was just something I ate; you know, sometimes these things just happen. But now I’m wondering if loose motion is good or bad? Like, I’ve heard some people say that it could be a way for your body to get rid of toxins or something. But then again, isn’t it super uncomfortable? I mean, I'm constantly running to the bathroom which is really inconvenient! The thing is, my stomach doesn't hurt, I don't have a fever, and I am not feeling overly tired or anything. I even tried some over-the-counter stuff, but it doesn't feel like it’s really helping. Should I just wait it out? Or could loose motion be a sign of something serious? It's all really confusing because my friend had loose motion last week and she was fine after a couple of days, but I read about some serious conditions related to it too. Also, what’s the difference in when loose motion is just a temporary thing or when it becomes a bad sign? Would love some advice on whether loose motion is good or bad or if I should just see a doctor instead!
