Hot compresses on the abdomen may provide some relief from abdominal pain after the onset of irritable bowel syndrome, but this should be done in conjunction with standardized general and pharmacologic treatments.
Physical therapy, such as hot compresses, can relieve gastrointestinal spasms and other symptoms to some extent, thereby improving abdominal pain and other discomforts. However, such physical therapy alone does not usually result in significant improvement and needs to be combined with standardized general therapy and medication.
General treatment includes recognizing the disease and improving anxiety and tension, as well as avoiding overeating, drinking alcohol, and eating a high-fat diet.
In addition, antidiarrheal medications such as montelukast can be used for severe diarrhea, diarrheal medications such as lactulose can be used for severe constipation, and medications such as pivobromine can be used to intervene if abdominal pain is severe.
Suspected irritable bowel syndrome is recommended to go to the hospital in time, the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a physician.
