Intestinal stress syndrome, a term that may be relatively new to many, is a common functional intestinal disease. In recent years, the incidence of intestinal stress syndrome has increased as the pace of life has accelerated and people ‘ s eating habits have changed. So, what exactly is intestinal irritation syndrome? What are its symptoms? How do we respond? Then let’s get to know.
Iritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional intestinal disease that manifests itself mainly in abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort, improved symptoms after defecation, often associated with changes in excrement habits and excrement. This disease does not cause intestinal organo-transformations, but it can cause considerable distress to patients, mostly among young and middle-aged people, most of whom are women. The mechanisms for the onset of intestinal stress syndrome are not yet fully defined and may be linked to various factors such as gastrointestinal disorders, high internal body sensitivity, nervous system anomalies, intestinal infections, intestinal micro-ecological disorders and mental disorders.
The symptoms of intestinal stress syndrome are diverse and abdominal pain is one of the most common symptoms, often occurring in the lower abdomen and lower left abdomen, with an irregular onset and duration and often abated after defecation or exhausting. Diarrhoea is also a common expression of intestinal irritability syndrome, and patients may experience chronic or intermittent diarrhoea, with faecal excreta in a paste or water form, free of blood, mostly in the morning or after meals, usually three to five times a day, with a small number of severe onset periods of up to 10 times. In addition, some patients may suffer from constipation symptoms, in the form of defecation difficulties and defecation. In addition to these intestinal symptoms, intestinal irritation syndrome may also be associated with osteoporosis symptoms (e.g. indigestion, stomach burning, etc.), mental symptoms (e.g. insomnia, anxiety, depression, etc.) and other intestinal symptoms (e.g. inactivity, urine frequency, etc.).
Because of the diversity and repertoire of the symptoms of intestinal stress syndrome, the diagnosis needs to be combined with the patient ‘ s medical history, medical examination and laboratory examination. At present, the treatment of intestinal stress syndrome is mainly a combination of treatment, including medication, psychotherapy, dietary adjustment and lifestyle change.
With regard to medication, doctors choose appropriate medications based on the patient ‘ s specific symptoms, such as an antidote, an anti-laxative, an anti-depressants, etc. Psychotherapy, in turn, helps patients reduce their symptoms by reducing their psychological stress and emotional fluctuations, mainly through cognitive behaviour therapy and psychokinetic therapy. In terms of dietary adjustment, patients are advised to avoid ingestion of irritating food, increase intake of dietary fibres and maintain regular dietary habits. Changes in lifestyles include maintaining a regular life, avoiding overwork and stress and enhancing physical activity.
In addition to the above-mentioned treatment, Chinese medicine also plays a role in the treatment of intestinal stress syndrome. Chinese medicine includes Chinese medicine, acupuncture and canning, and individualized treatment may be based on the patient ‘ s body and symptoms.
Overall, intestinal stress syndrome, while not life-threatening, can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential for people with intestinal stress syndrome. At the same time, maintaining good habits and mentalities is an important part of the prevention and treatment of intestinal stress syndrome. It is hoped that this presentation will lead to a better understanding of intestinal stress syndrome and thus to better care and management of one ‘ s own health.
