Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What are the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort accompanied by changes in bowel habits, without any underlying organic inflammation. In clinical diagnosis, it is generally classified into three types based on bowel patterns and stool characteristics: the nausea and vomiting type, the constipation type, and the mixed type. This condition follows a benign course, with symptoms that can recur repeatedly or intermittently, affecting quality of life, but it generally does not severely impact overall health.
