Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Functional bowel disease, manifested by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, and stool disorders (diarrhea, constipation, or alternation).
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
IBS is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease usually develops at the age of 30-50 years and has a close relationship with the psychoemotional state of a person. The main mechanism of pathology development is a violation of intestinal regulation by the nervous system, which leads to changes in intestinal motility, its hypersensitivity and inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane. With IBS, no anatomical or structural damage to the intestine is detected. The symptoms appear due to functional disorders, not inflammation or an infectious process. Despite the fact that IBS is not life-threatening, it can significantly worsen well-being.

Reasons

intestinal sensitivity to pain (visceral hypersensitivity)

Intestinal motility disorders, smooth muscle spasms

Violation of intestinal microflora.

A history of frequent intestinal infections

Genetic predisposition

Psychoemotional stress, anxiety and depressive disorders contribute to impaired perception of symptoms by patients, which exacerbates the symptoms.

Symptoms

Abdominal discomfort, usually lessening after bowel movements

Bloating, abdominal distension

Stool disorders: constipation, diarrhea or their alternation

Feeling of incomplete bowel movement after bowel movements

Rumbling in the stomach, flatulence

Consequences

IBS does not cause serious organic changes, such as ulcers or tumors, but the long course of the disease significantly reduces the patient's quality of life

Treatment

alt
Conservative treatment
The basis of IBS treatment is lifestyle changes, nutrition correction and work with a psychoemotional state. A diet is recommended for patients taking into account the form of the disease: with constipation, the intake of dietary fiber and fluid increases, with diarrhea, foods that cause fermentation and increased intestinal motility are excluded. The consumption of foods that cause increased pain is individually limited. Drug therapy is selected individually depending on the symptoms. An important component of therapy is working with a psychologist, correcting anxiety and perception of symptoms.

Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment for irritable bowel syndrome is not performed, as the disease is functional in nature and is not associated with anatomical changes in the intestine.
