Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of chronic or recurrent functional bowel disorders characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits and/or stool consistency, without any structural or biochemical abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract. It is the most common functional bowel disease. Surveys indicate that IBS predominantly affects young and middle-aged adults, with a high incidence between 18 and 30 years of age. Onset after 50 years of age is rare. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits and/or stool consistency. Abdominal pain often improves after defecation.

Diarrhea

Diarrhea, commonly known as "loose stools," refers to a condition where bowel movements occur significantly more frequently than usual, with thin, watery stools, increased water content, and a daily stool volume exceeding 200g, or containing undigested food, pus, blood, or mucus. Based on the duration of the illness, diarrhea can be classified into acute diarrhea and chronic diarrhea. Acute diarrhea: Characterized by a sudden onset and a duration of 2 to 3 weeks. It is mostly caused by infections. Chronic diarrhea: Refers to diarrhea that lasts for more than two months or recurrent diarrhea with remission periods of 2 to 4 weeks. The causes are complex and can be divided into infectious and non-infectious factors.
