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. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Looking forward to one day in the near future can meet you and consult more in-depth. Best regards!
