Treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). It presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and/or constipation. While the exact cause of IBS remains unclear, factors such as stress, diet, and gut microbiota imbalance may contribute to its development.
At Kalyani Hospital, we understand that each patient’s experience with IBS is unique. Our personalized approach begins with a thorough evaluation of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. Our experienced gastroenterologists collaborate closely with patients to create tailored treatment plans.
Treatment Strategies:
- Medication Management: Depending on the predominant symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, or mixed), we prescribe antispasmodics, laxatives, or anti-diarrheals.
- Nutritional Counseling: Our registered dietitians help patients identify trigger foods and make informed dietary choices.
- Advanced Options:
- Biofeedback Therapy: A technique to improve bowel function by enhancing awareness and control.
- Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria supplements.
- Alternative Therapies: Options like acupuncture or hypnotherapy.
At Kalyani Hospital, we strive to alleviate IBS symptoms and enhance our patients’ quality of life.
