loose stools
[luːs stuːlz]
noun
fezes soltas
1. bowel movements that are soft, watery, or unformed; a symptom of diarrhea or digestive upset
The patient reported loose stools for the past few days.
O paciente relatou fezes soltas nos últimos dias.
2. fecal matter lacking normal consistency and firmness
Loose stools can be caused by dietary changes or infections.
Fezes soltas podem ser causadas por mudanças na dieta ou infecções.
This is primarily medical terminology used by healthcare professionals in both English-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries. In Brazil and Portugal, patients might colloquially refer to the condition as 'diarréia' or 'diarreia' rather than the more formal 'fezes soltas.' The term is used in clinical settings, patient consultations, and medical documentation across both continents.
