The class often bloating, abdominal pain, a overtime diarrhea …… careful has suffered from “irritable bowel syndrome”! The survey shows that for every hundred Guangzhou respondents, there are nearly six people suffering from this disease, and mainly young adults are hit. The experts pointed out that the treatment and prevention of the disease should start with the psychology and pay attention to the diet health. The symptoms are varied, after defecation on the improvement of two years, a career staff of 35-year-old Mr. Liang frequent “stomach”, manifested as lower abdominal pain, two or three times a day pull watery stool or ragged stool, abdominal pain after defecation to reduce. In the past six months, the above symptoms occurred 5-6 days a month, sometimes even more than 30 times a day, and he was jokingly called the “resident bathroom representative” by his colleagues, which seriously affected his life and work. He had a colonoscopy and other related tests, but no intestinal lesions were found. The doctor found that each attack was related to overtime work, and the work pressure was overwhelming him. Finally, he was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). ”Irritable bowel syndrome used to be called allergic colitis, which is a non-infectious diarrhea. Our survey found that the incidence of the disease is not low among people in the workplace.” Professor Zeng Zhirong, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at the First Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, noted. Patients self-reported a variety of symptoms, some with abdominal pain, some with constipation, some with diarrhea, and some with alternating episodes of diarrhea and constipation. Even in the case of abdominal pain, the manifestations were different: some felt pain as if their stomach was hit by a dull object, some felt pain as if they were on fire, and some had pain as if their intestines were in spasm. In general, IBS patients have common characteristics: recurrent abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort lasting at least 3 months, at least 3 days per month, and the situation can improve after defecation, Tseng pointed out. What exactly causes a patient’s bowel tantrums? “The cause of IBS is related to gastrointestinal motility disorder visceral hypersensitivity, abnormal central sensory transmission, and psychological disorders, and many people are triggered by excessive mental stress and food intolerance.” Zeng Zhirong pointed out that the risk factors for irritable bowel syndrome are usually considered to include the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), history of food allergies, psychological disorders, blows from life events, and intestinal infections. Psychological factors caused by excessive work stress are one of the main reasons for the frequent onset of the disease in the workplace. Probiotics are not the mainstay of treatment. Zeng Zhirong suggested that if people in the workplace have recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea, they can have a colonoscopy or even a gastroscopy to rule out intestinal infections and an endocrine examination to rule out hyperthyroidism and other diseases that can lead to accelerated intestinal motility. If the above tests are not abnormal, then the culprit of the upset stomach is probably irritable bowel syndrome. Some people in the workplace who have these symptoms rely on frequent probiotics to protect their stomachs. Experts point out that probiotics are not the “main force” in the fight against IBS, and the effect may not be good, sometimes it is just a self-soothing. In fact, the patient to release concerns, relaxation, self-psychological decompression, the “treatment” of irritable bowel syndrome is more effective.
