Abstract : Acute diarrhea is a sickness for which a specific etiologic agent is frequently unable to be identified clinically. Evolution covers a broad range, from self-limited illness to demise. The causes of acute diarrhea, which is clinically defined as the release of three or more loose or watery stools in a day or a distinct drop in consistency and an increase in frequency depending on the individual, are discussed in this chapter along with their viral and bacterial causes. Female participants in the age range of 18 to 25 are being studied at the Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences and Hospital in Kulasekharam, Tamil Nadu, India. Verbal consent was gained when the study's goal was explained. Thirty individuals participated in this study. There are thirty questions on the questionnaire. Unwilling or uncooperative female participants were excluded from the study at that point. The study concluded that women should know more about the need to eat a balanced diet, the risks associated with junk food, the consequences of gut dysbiosis, and how to prevent consuming contaminated food. Future care should focus on these areas to enhance young females' overall wellness and health.
