Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed based on symptoms and exclusion of other conditions. Effective treatments include dietary changes, medications, and psychological therapies, all provided by licensed healthcare professionals via telehealth.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits such as diarrhea or constipation. It affects millions globally and can significantly impact daily life. Accurate diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms and ruling out other gastrointestinal conditions.
While the exact cause of IBS remains unknown, factors like gut motility, nerve sensitivity, and gut microbiota play roles. Symptoms include cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and mucus in stool. Stress and diet often exacerbate symptoms.
Healthcare providers diagnose IBS through symptom assessment, medical history, and ruling out other conditions via tests like stool analysis, blood tests, and colonoscopy if necessary. No specific lab test confirms IBS, making clinical evaluation crucial.
