Is irritable bowel syndrome prone to recurrence?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders, characterized mainly by abdominal pain associated with bowel habits, as well as changes in the characteristics of the stool, such as alternating diarrhea or constipation. Generally, abdominal pain tends to decrease after defecation and is related to it. This condition is prone to recurring episodes, presenting a prolonged and difficult-to-cure phenomenon. In Western medicine, probiotics can be taken orally to adjust the gut flora and alleviate symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) also provides options, including herbal medicine based on syndrome differentiation and oral administration. Additionally, external TCM therapies such as moxibustion, herbal enemas, and herbal hydrotherapy are also effective in treating this condition.
