About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Irritable Bowel Syndrome” by Kimberly M. Persley, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common digestive disorder that affects the large intestine. The symptoms of IBS can vary widely from person to person and may include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or alternating periods of constipation and diarrhea.

The exact cause of IBS is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to problems with how the muscles in the intestine contract and relax, as well as how the brain and gut communicate with each other. Certain triggers, such as stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, and medications, may also exacerbate symptoms.

Treatment for IBS typically involves a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding trigger foods, increasing fiber intake, and managing stress, as well as medication to address specific symptoms. It is important to work with a healthcare professional to develop an individualized treatment plan for IBS.

Enteric nervous system Controls motility and secretory functions of the intestine Semiautonomous – actions modified by parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems – may function independently Contains many neurotransmitters, including 5-HT, substance P, VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), and CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) IBS – Pathophysiology
Slide 15-

IBS: Current thinking on pathophysiology Visceral hypersensitivity1 – Increased visceral afferent response to normal as well as noxious stimuli – Mediators include 5-HT, bradykinin, tachykinins, CGRP, and neurotropins Primary motility disorder of GI tract2 – Mediated by 5-HT, acetylcholine, ATP, motilin, nitric oxide, somatostatin, substance P, and VIP IBS – Pathophysiology References: 1. Bueno et al. Gastroenterology. May 1997;112:1714-1743. 2. Goyal and Hirano. N Engl J Med. April 1996;334:1106-1115. Defects in the enteric nervous system may lead to the hallmark symptoms of IBS.

Surgical Therapy for IBS IBS symptoms may be attributed to: Non-functioning gallbladder disease, chronic appendicitis, uterine fibroids, tortuous colon IBS symptoms rarely improve after surgery IBS patients 2 to 3 times more likely to undergo unnecessary surgery

Take Home Points IBS is a chronic medical condition characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, bloating, passage of mucus and feelings of incomplete evacuation Precise etiology of IBS is unknown and therefore treatment is focused on relieving symptoms rather that “curing disease”
Slide 41-

Take Home Points Although many IBS patients complain of symptoms after eating, true food allergies are uncommon Specific therapies are determined by individual patient symptoms Life-style modifications and possible alternative therapies may relieve symptoms Surgery has NO Role in treatment of IBS
