Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide. Its prevalence varies significantly from country to country, largely due to heterogeneity in the available data. Recent studies show that the prevalence of IBS in Asia is on the rise. However, there are very limited data regarding its prevalence in the Vietnamese population. This review aims to offer an overview of the prevalence and clinical characteristics of IBS in the Vietnamese population; and to discuss the current management of IBS in Vietnam-taking into account the available medical resources and the local spectrum of lower gastrointestinal disorders that may mimic IBS.
肠易激综合征（IBS）是全球最常见的胃肠道疾病之一。其患病率在不同国家之间存在显著差异，这在很大程度上是由于现有数据的异质性所致。最近的研究表明，亚洲IBS的患病率正在上升。然而，关于越南人群中IBS患病率的数据非常有限。本综述旨在概述越南人群中IBS的患病率和临床特征；并结合现有的医疗资源以及可能模仿IBS的下消化道疾病的当地情况，讨论越南目前对IBS的管理。
