IBS in Women

Description

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, affects approximately 46 million American women. IBS is both a biological and a psychosocial issue for many people. And because symptoms are not always the same for everyone, doctors can have a difficult time accurately diagnosing IBS, adding to the complexity of the disease. IBS is not inherently different in women and men, but it presents in women at a rate of three to one with men. As this program points out, no single treatment works the same for every patient; but answers do exist for women affected by IBS, allowing them to greatly improve their quality of life.
