Usually, the issue lasts a lifetime. It may significantly affect your day-to-day life and be quite annoying to live with.
Although there isn't a cure, medications and dietary adjustments can frequently help manage the symptoms.
Although the precise reason is uncertain, factors such as stress, a family history of IBS, oversensitive gut nerves, and food moving through your stomach too fast or too slowly have all been implicated.
According to a new global study, irritable bowel syndrome is closely associated with common mental health issues including sadness and anxiety.
The study, which involved more than 40 universities in the UK and Spain, looked at almost 50,000 IBS patients and discovered that the same molecular mechanisms that produce anxiety also induce IBS symptoms1.
Naturally, this seems to make sense because the symptoms of anxiety and IBS, such as gastrointestinal issues, social anxiety, panic attacks, and humiliation, coincide.IBS and panic disorder have many symptoms, such as social anxiety, humiliation, and an overpowering want to avoid particular settings. Because our stomachs and minds are closely related, problems with one will frequently have an impact on the other.
In a similar vein, persons who experience issues with their bladders or bowels frequently experience anxiety or depressive feelings.
