Unformed stools and frequent diarrhea may be associated with numerous factors, including unhygienic food intake, indigestion, exposure to cold, and intestinal disorders. For instance, bacterial intestinal infection due to unhygienic food, underlying intestinal disease, inadequate abdominal warmth leading to cold invasion, weakened spleen-stomach function, or improper diet causing indigestion—all of these may result in unformed stools and recurrent diarrhea.
