Dysentery is an acute intestinal infection characterized by frequent passing of loose stools mixed with mucus and blood, accompanied by abdominal pain, tenesmus (straining), and dehydration. It is commonly caused by bacterial infections (Shigella), amoebic infection (Entamoeba histolytica), contaminated food/water, poor hygiene, or weakened immunity. Symptoms include abdominal colic, fever, nausea, foul stools, rectal burning, and weakness. Complications can include severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, perforation, liver abscess (in amoebiasis), and chronic colitis if untreated.

Homoeopathy manages dysentery by focusing on rapid control of inflammation, reduction of frequency/tenesmus, clearing infection, and strengthening intestinal mucosa. Remedies are selected based on stool appearance (bloody, slimy, offensive), nature of pain, thirst, fever pattern, rectal symptoms, modalities, and patient constitution. Acute remedies bring quick relief, while remedies for chronic or recurrent amoebiasis help prevent relapse and restore gut immunity.
