Hello doctor! I have irritable bowel syndrome for 2 years and take all kinds of medicine but so far it has not been cured. When I stand up straight, I feel tightness and tightness in the lower part of my chest making it difficult to breathe, when I touch it, I feel tight, only when I sit will I feel comfortable. So the doctor asked me if I have irritable bowel syndrome, can I remove a section of the colon? Do I need to re-attach another segment after surgery? I hope the doctor can advise and answer me because since this disease I have not been able to do anything. Sincerely thank!

Hello! Irritable bowel syndrome has no indication for surgery. However, other causes of IBS-like symptoms should be identified to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Therefore, in this case, you should go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to be examined by a specialist doctor and prescribed appropriate treatments for irritable bowel syndrome.
