default
Posted on Mon, 5 Nov 2012
Question: HI,

I am suffering from IBS for around 5-6 months now. The problem that i am facing is that almost the entire day I feel as if I need to go to washroom and almost 6-7 times I need to visit toilet. However still there is a regular urge to do the same again and again. It has also resulted in severe buring sensation in the anus part. I underwent a Colonoscopy test which was pretty normal. Doctor suggested me to take a tablet IBSET which is giving me a temporaraliry relief , but not a permenent one. I am also concerned on the side effects of this tab since i am taking this for 2 months now...pls suggest on what do i do to get rid of IBS

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.

IBS is a chronic disease with frequent exacerbation and remission. Its symptoms frequently exacerbate with stress, anxiety and depression.

So, regular sleep wake cycle and reduction of stress from life is important for treatment.

Do you have increase frequency of urination also?

Tell me if you have any of the following symptoms to help you better:
Anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, mild irritability, excessive worry regarding own health, tremor, muscle spasm, heaviness in body, easy fatigability, headache, sleep disturbance, palpitation and dry mouth.

Wish you good health.

As stress and anxiety can lead to muscle spasm, headache and easy fatigability, same way it affect contraction of intestine which lead to IBS symptoms.
