What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
I have consulted a gasteroenterologist for discomfort/uneasiness in the left lower abdomin. I feel as if a lump or knot kind of a feeling which stays through out the day and vanishes during night on weekends. Due to work-related tasks, I am mostly under stress during the work-week. The Doc suspects it to be IBS problem. Apart from enterogermina he prescribed OxeRute and Mebiz SR - twice daily. Earlier I had episodes of piles with minor bleeding, which flares up on and off. But I am free from it now. What could be my problem and how effective these medicines are. Thanks for your attention and assistance.
