Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from digestive problems for about 5 years, symptoms include: Abdominal pain, abdominal cramps, frequent bowel movements (3 - 5 times/day), sometimes constipation, diarrhea flowing, irregular stools, small flat form, little by little, broken stools, sometimes yellow, sometimes dark brown, sometimes with blood, I often have a feeling of needing to go to the toilet, especially when stressed. I also had stomach cramps and had to go to the toilet.
I went to many doctors and was diagnosed with colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, took many courses of medicine, partly helped but not completely cured. I had colonoscopy and gastroscopy in September 2020, the results were ileitis, Hp (+) gastritis and 2 benign anal canal papillomas. I took the medicine a few times, the gastritis was gone, the HP was negative, but still had symptoms of enteritis and irritable bowel syndrome.
So the doctor asked me what is the abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea and constipation? What is the treatment for this disease? Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question “What is abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea and constipation? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common and benign group of diseases. Currently, there is no cure for this disease. Medicines are prescribed to treat the symptoms of the disease. You should also pay attention if there are warning signs such as: Weight loss, nighttime abdominal pain, bloody stools, anemia, ... you need to consult a gastroenterologist.
If you still have questions about defecation during diarrhea and constipation, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
