This is a relatively common disease, but in most cases, is not expressed so much in order to get people to go to the doctor and cure the violation. Besides, a lot of people about the problems associated with this disorder, do not wish to speak.

We are talking about the so-called functional bowel disease (functional kalapati), which is characterized by repeated involuntary (especially in the morning), craving for urinating, that always arise, especially if the person is in an unpleasant stressful situation. Stress, by itself, does not cause intestinal problems, but often leads to their deterioration.

Other typical symptoms of intestinal disorders represented by discomfort or pain in the abdomen, in connection with defecation, frequent flatulence and feeling of incomplete emptying.

The term "irritable bowel syndrome" are sometimes hiding, though incorrectly, all functional disorders of the motility of the colon. In this context, therefore, it is possible to meet also with other units that are as follows.

Functional diarrhea. This compulsive disorder is dominated by watery diarrhoea, which, however, is not accompanied by pain.

Functional bloating. Some people complain of frequent feelings of bloating, especially in unpleasant situations. Sometimes flatulence in the intestine is not evident, although present.

Functional constipation. These people have the opposite problem than people with bowel disorders in which the predominant diarrhea. Constipation, often accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and feeling bloated. Sometimes the pain goes away after bowel movement when the contents of the bowel – mucous.

Fortunately, we are not talking about a serious disease that can endanger human life or cause health problems and complications.

The disease is also not associated with colon cancer.

The causes and mechanisms of development

It so happens that some people have the stomach and the large intestine often responds to internal and external stimuli, which primarily mediates the nervous system. Some people, irritability increases transferred intestinal infection from other causes of intestinal disorders are uncertain.

Probably, there is no single body which would not influence the psychological state of the person. During times of stress leads to leaching of substances involved in the management organs, including large intestine. Under normal conditions this effect is not strong enough that the person felt it or is he able to suppress his or not given importance.

But, in another situation, people diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome who respond to such effects excessively. They have as a result of increased reactivity of the bowel comes to disorders of motility (bowel movements). This is manifested by frequent urge to defecate, the stool gradually turns into liquid until watery.

Very often suffer from the disease, the people who manage stressful situations worse than their surroundings, are emotionally labile; often, this group is represented by the neurotics.

To the description of these symptoms should be added that they all can be symptoms of other, sometimes serious organic disease, the presence of which should be considered before the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome.

Recently considered as possible causes large numbers of nerve fibers in the colon in people with this disease, as well as the possibility of hormonal influence (often women with this disorder complain of worsening difficulties during menstruation).

Risk factor

As mentioned above, the risk factor is transferred or the presence of intestinal infection, which can increase the sensitivity of the colon to external and internal stimuli. * Particular, the important role can be played by genetic or hereditary factors.

Other risk factors include: hectic lifestyle, frequent feelings of stress and the presence of conflict situations, poor nutrition.

Prevention

Preventive measures include mainly avoidance of risk factors. Adherence to a healthy lifestyle, regular recreation, planning and sticking to a plan is basic preventive measures.

Avoid unnecessary stress andthink about everything that is bothering you and causes stress, indeed, is so important that you give him.

Some of the methods mentioned in the treatment can be used prophylactically, if they begin to apply at the time when the symptoms are slight or infrequent.

Signs and symptoms

Mainly, the manifestations include compulsive and repeated his morning bowel movement when the stool gradually changes from normal to liquid and watery.

In stressful situations subsequently arise sometimes short, sometimes long and more intense obsessive urge to defecate that will either overcome or will require a visit to the toilet... it May happen that this whole situation is solved only by going to the toilet without a bowel movement, in which the issues subside spontaneously.

As a rule, people suffering from this disease complain of a feeling of fullness in the stomach, feeling of inadequate emptying, bloating and rumbling in the abdomen.

There is alternation of a normal chair with a watery, sometimes you may be increased flatulence (intestinal gas waste). In some people the pain is present in the whole colon, but most often it occurs in the lower left part of the abdomen.

There is another form of difficulty, which is called postprandial diarrhea. When it appears, sometimes in a very short time after eating, pain and cramping in the abdomen, accompanied by bloating and quickly following loose stools. Defecation usually brings relief, but it can be repeated.

This disease can be cured spontaneously on their own, but also possible situations of deterioration manifestations.

The psychological aspect of this disease is very important as to the disease can be added to a neurosis. Therefore, anyone with such problems, continued for a long period of time, it is recommended not to be ashamed to consult a doctor.

Finally, it should be said that the symptoms of irritable bowel BELONGS neither rectal bleeding nor the presence of blood in the stool. In such cases you should immediately consult a doctor! If these issues occur again in the age of 50 years old or accompanied by prolonged fever, weight loss, fatigue, we are talking about the warning signs that must be correctly evaluated and investigated other possible causes of intestinal disorders.

Treatment

After exclusion of organic causes that it is sometimes very difficult and can be a bit annoying (but it is a necessity, which is designed to remove a serious threat to your health) starts the treatment of intestinal disorders of a functional nature.

After diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe medications to calm the bowel, medication against diarrhea and may recommend visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist. For someone visiting these professionals may seem awkward. However, this should not hesitate!

From the doctor you can get medications that can temporarily relieve stress, alleviate anxiety and help to bridge the interim period until the psychologist/psychiatrist to help cope with the problems that worsen your condition. After the end of therapy the problem is large the likelihood will disappear for good.

Functional bowel disorder treatment involves self. Self-help can be very useful but do not replace it to a doctor. After all, the signs of irritable bowel, in fact, can be a manifestation of other, sometimes serious diseases.

What you can do on your own?

  1. Exercise regularly and observe the basics of proper nutrition. Regular exercise calms the nervous system by producing chemicals called endorphins that create a sense of peace and joy.
  2. Very nice to use total body massage, which will help "turn off" and relax and, in addition, is very pleasant.
  3. Autogenic training. This is a relaxation exercise in which a person consciously affect some of its functions. The task of autotreninga is to teach people how to relax and control your body.

In addition, you can consider visiting a psychologist who can discuss their problems and get tips on how to these problems, which can't manage to treat so they were not so burdensome. Although it may seem strange, many different people suffer from the same problems, hence, psychotherapy sessions can have considerable success because they are based on the experience of many people.

And finally, we can mention the... hypnosis. This technique can be very effective, especially when other methods don't work. There is nothing mystical or dangerous. Hypnosis is based on the principle of self-hypnosis, when the hypnotist in trance "guides" the erroneous perception of problems that worry people. Hypnosis cannot force someone to do something that he, under ordinary circumstances, did not. However, you should find a specialist who has experience and good recommendations, that neither time nor money was wasted.
