Brief Answer:
It is irritable bowel syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
The symptoms that you are describing are very typical symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
When a person is anxious or under stress there is an urgent and frequent urge to evacuate the bowel .
This could also be accompanied by gaseous distension and abdominal cramps.
You need to relax to get this under control.Breathing excercises for relaxation may help.
But if the frequency is too many then me
bevarine hydrochloride could be used for treatment of the same.
Though the primary management is to reduce stress.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Brief Answer:
it is an antispasmodic

Detailed Answer:
Hello, welcome back,

It is an antispasmodic or I would say, direct muscle relaxant of intestinal muscles.

Hypnosis would definitely help. But along with that, pharmacotherapy with Mebeverine and breathing exercises to relax should also help.

Please feel free to ask in case of any further queries.

Best wishes
