What is irritable bowel syndrome

The main characteristics are: repeated, to and fro, a burst of abdominal discomfort, aggravated after meals, defecation can be alleviated. In addition, there may be diarrhea, constipation and other defecation changes.

We must exclude a series of diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal infection, tumor and so on under the guidance of doctors, so as to carefully diagnose irritable bowel syndrome.

In essence, irritable bowel syndrome is not so much a disease as a temporary gastrointestinal dysfunction. It's just like electrical appliances are not damaged due to poor contact.

There is also waiting to do something, the psychological panic will affect the intestinal diet: cold water or ice drinks, if you eat, spicy stimulation will cause discomfort (this is not always the case) stay up late: there is a connection, but it seems not much connection. If you don't sleep well at night and feel tired the next morning, you may have abdominal pain and diarrhea. But sometimes it doesn't matter, such as overnight, sometimes it doesn't matter.
