Irritable Bowel Syndrome is also known as "Irritable Bowel Syndrome", or "Sensitivity Bowel". In the absence of any damage or pathology in the intestinal tract, dysfunction such as peristalsis or allergies occurs, which is a long-term chronic disease. It is different from occasional gastroenteritis, which usually heals on its own after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, the patient's bowel habits will change, and it is easy to feel abdominal discomfort, which usually relieves after defecation; the frequency of stools may increase or decrease, and the shape may also become hard or loose. In addition to physical discomfort, you will also suffer from troubles in work, daily social interaction, and emotional control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proportion of young female patients with this disease is more, but other age groups have the opportunity to suffer from it. For the time being, the medical community has not yet made a definitive conclusion on the etiology. There are many causes involved, including the patient's intestinal muscle contraction disorder and susceptibility; in addition, eating greasy or irritating food, high life pressure, emotional illness or family inheritance will also increase the risk of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although there is currently no definitive diagnosis method for this disease, in addition to evaluating the symptoms according to the diagnostic criteria Rome IV criteria, the doctor may recommend examination according to the patient's condition to rule out colorectal cancer, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other lower gastrointestinal diseases with similar symptoms. Test items include colonoscopy, blood or stool samples, food allergy tests, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though irritable bowel syndrome is not fatal, it will cause a lot of inconvenience to patients. Therefore, treatment focuses on controlling and relieving symptoms. Doctors will prescribe appropriate drugs, such as gastrointestinal cramps, antidiarrheals, laxatives and probiotic supplements to improve intestinal health. Advise patients to limit or avoid dietary intake of alcohol, caffeine, lactose, gluten, etc. You can also eat water-soluble fiber foods, such as oatmeal and flaxseed, to improve abdominal distension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emotional management can also help relieve the condition. Regular work and rest and regular exercise to reduce stress and improve anxiety and stress can relieve the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
