Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
To understand irritable bowel syndrome, it is worth seeing a gastroenterologist or, as a first step, a general practitioner or internist, professionals who help distinguish it from other digestive causes. It is a functional disorder of the digestive tract in which the intestine reacts more sensitively than usual, without there being a structural lesion to explain it.
Common symptoms: abdominal pain or discomfort that improves after a bowel movement, bloating, and changes in bowel habits with a tendency toward constipation, diarrhea, or both alternating.
When to seek care? When the discomfort is recurrent, affects daily life, or is accompanied by warning signs such as weight loss or bleeding.
A professional evaluation helps guide the management and rule out other diseases.
