IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME PROGNOSIS |
|
|
|
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not a life-threatening condition.
It does not cause intestinal bleeding or inflammation, nor does it
cause other bowel diseases or cancer. Although Irritable Bowel Syndrome can last a
lifetime, in up to 30% of cases the symptoms eventually disappear.
Even if the symptoms cannot be eliminated, with appropriate
treatment they can usually be brought under control to the point
where Irritable Bowel Syndrome becomes merely an occasional inconvenience. Treatment
requires a long-term commitment, however; six months or more may be
needed before the patient notices substantial improvement. |
