Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also known as irritable colon, is the most common chronic problem affecting the large intestine. It is the leading reason for consulting a gastroenterologist and one of the diseases that affects women in greater proportions, according to Dr. Max Schmulson of the Liver, Pancreas, and Motility Laboratory (HIPAM) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
He explained that irritable bowel syndrome is called a functional disorder because current methods cannot determine the presence of a structural or organic lesion that explains it.
It is a multifactorial disease, where there is poor communication between the brain and the gut.
Irritable bowel syndrome is more prevalent in women than in men, mostly in those under 35 years of age.
One of the cases most commonly associated with irritable bowel syndrome is of nervous origin.
