Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort associated with a change in bowel patterns, is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders. Because no single drug effectively relieves all IBS symptoms, management relies on dietary and lifestyle modifications, as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies. The authors review current approaches to treatment and discuss nursing implications.
肠易激综合征（IBS）的特征为与排便习惯改变相关的腹痛或不适，是最常见的功能性胃肠道疾病之一。由于没有一种药物能有效缓解所有 IBS 症状，因此治疗依赖于饮食和生活方式的改变，以及药物和非药物治疗。作者回顾了目前的治疗方法，并讨论了护理意义。
