More Symptoms Of IBS - Symptoms of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Symptoms that you would commonly associate with IBS or the Irritable Bowel Syndrome are diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, wind and bloating. However there are many more symptoms associated with IBS that are just as important to Irritable Bowel Syndrome that you might not have realised. Some of these you may be suffering from and not even realised they were associated. On this page, we will discuss more symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome for you:More Symptoms Of IBS - LethargyLethargy is a common symptom. What is this? It’s a feeling of sluggishness, slowness or dullness and is common to a lot of illnesses. Why does this occur with Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Good question, no one really knows. There have been hypotheses made about toxin build up, particularly in IBS-C , may be an unexplained nutritional deficiency or even depression which is more common to IBS. Tiredness and IBSTiredness is another one of those symptoms associated with IBS that is also common to a lot of illness. The cause of tiredness is unknown, but factors such as lack of sleep, stress, depression, constipation (see constipation remedies ), the brain-gut pathway have all been hypothesised as underlying this. However, the fact is that this is most likely multifactorial. More Symptoms Of IBS - NauseaNausea can be just as disabling as lethargy and tiredness. Nausea appears to be more common in constipation-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome and treatments to address the constipation can sometimes help. Anti-sickness medications such as Metoclopramide and Domperidone can help, as well as travel sickness medications such as Cyclizine. Anxiety associated with this illness may also exacerbate IBS and treating anxiety may help. The best probiotics might have a role to play in improving symptoms along with IBS diet. More Symptoms Of IBS - Muscle AchesGeneral muscle aches are common too and often associated with lethargy. This is difficult to treat, but sometimes addressing any weight issues, aromatherapy and even hypnotherapy can help with this. An illness closely associated with IBS known as fibromyalgia may be contributing to this. More Symptoms Of IBS - Urine FrequencyUrine frequency, normally thought of in the context of urine infections, diabetes and excessive drinking is also seen in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The cause of this is thought to be due to pressure on the bladder from bloating and wind as well as in constipation. More Symptoms Of IBS - HeadachesHeadaches are common and often associated with tiredness and fatigue. If depression is present, symptoms can often be worse. Hypotheses including toxin build up, anxiety and stress have all been made in the aetiology of this. More Symptoms Of IBS - Painful Sex, Reduced Libido or Sex Drive in IBSAbdominal pain can occur during sex and this can cause stress in a relationship. The cause of this maybe direct bowel stimulation, hormonal influences associated with sex and psychology as well. Reduced libido is also more common in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and this too can be an issue to some sufferers.
