How should irritable bowel syndrome be treated?

Irritable bowel syndrome, called IBS in English, is fairly common. Why is the name of this disease so strange? In fact, it is easy to understand, “irritation” means “irritation”, “irritable bowel” is this section of the intestine for some reasons to get very irritable, do not move to get angry, the result, then The result is abdominal pain and diarrhea.

The typical symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are abdominal pain and bloating associated with abnormal bowel movements. The main symptoms are: diarrhea, constipation, and alternating diarrhea-constipation.

Irritable bowel syndrome does not come suddenly, but can be caused by many reasons, such as eating foods that the stomach and intestines cannot tolerate, such as cold and spicy foods, fruits, dairy products, alcohol, etc.; poor mood, anxiety, depression, agitation, insomnia, etc.; abuse of antibiotics, anti-diarrheal drugs causing gastrointestinal flora imbalance, etc.

Irritable bowel syndrome is always recurring, this time it is almost cured, but the next time when the stomach is cold, it is recurring again, so many patients with irritable bowel syndrome often lose confidence in treatment, because they think irritable bowel syndrome is not cured at all, and there is a possibility of cancer. Is this true? The most scientific answer is that irritable bowel syndrome can definitely be cured, and the probability of cancer is no different from that of normal people.

The recurrence of irritable bowel syndrome and its prolongation have caused patients to lose confidence, and because of the lack of effective drugs and comprehensive psychological treatment, many patients think that their disease is difficult to be cured. To deal with this disease, we must do “protracted war” plan, do not think that a good.

First of all, to establish confidence to overcome the disease. The correct understanding of the disease is a functional disease, can be cured, the human body will not cause too much damage, and will not affect the life expectancy of people. Actively participate in cultural and physical activities that are beneficial to your physical and mental health, eliminate mental and psychological barriers, and take appropriate amounts of anti-anxiety, anti-depressant and sedative drugs under the guidance of a physician if necessary.

Second, improve the intestinal environment. Microecological preparations can be used to supplement the normal flora in the intestinal tract. In addition, glutamine preparations can be taken at the same time to promote the growth of intestinal mucosal cells and repair the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier as soon as possible.

Then, symptomatic treatment. For diarrhea type, anticholinergic drugs are most commonly used. For those with severe diarrhea, some drugs can be chosen or added at the same time, but avoid overdose or long-term application, and stop the drugs when the symptoms are relieved. For constipation type, morpholine, mosapride and cisapride can improve bloating and constipation, but patients with heart disease should avoid treatment with cisapride. For severe constipation and bloating, lactulose can be given orally or by enema.

Finally, pivetonium bromide (Desutex), which has a bidirectional regulating effect on gastrointestinal motility, is commonly used clinically to treat the alternating diarrhea-constipation type, not only can inhibit intestinal smooth muscle activity, reduce the frequency and amplitude of intestinal contraction, and reduce the frequency of spontaneous rectal-anal inhibition reflex, but also Desutex can inhibit the release of acetylcholine from intrinsic nerves, preventing excessive cholinergic activity in IBS, so it can improve IBS patients with abdominal pain and diarrhea, especially in the early stages of treatment.

Enzyme replacement therapy is also available. Some patients may also have a deficiency of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, especially those who are intolerant to food, often causing symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea due to indigestion and absorption disorders. It is beneficial to give a variety of digestive enzyme preparations for the improvement of symptoms.

In conclusion, the clinical diagnosis of chronic colitis is mostly irritable bowel syndrome, to obtain a complete cure, we should use a comprehensive treatment method, of which psychotherapy is the key, drug therapy is the guarantee, only reasonable and appropriate, depending on the person to choose a good treatment method, in order to successfully treat irritable bowel syndrome.
