摘要
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder with a worldwide distribution; it is characterized by abdominal pain and discomfort associated with an alteration of bowel function. The treatment approach for IBS depends on the patient's presenting symptoms at the time of diagnosis, and treatment is usually directed toward the predominant symptom. In this review we discuss the current approach to the treatment of IBS. Copyright © 2003 by Current Science Inc.
