IBS In Pregnancy

by Roger_Thompson

Irritable bowel syndrome is a health disorder, one that is
characterized most commonly by cramping, bloating, constipation
and diarrhea. Most cases of irritable bowel syndrome are quite
mild and can be controlled with proper diet, stress management,
and often there is a need for prescribed medications as well.

While most women with IBS have long suspected that hormones
(chemical substances created by the body that control numerous
bodily functions) have an impact on their IBS symptoms, research
has recently shown just how dramatic and wide-ranging this link
is. Women have a higher prevalence of IBS than men in the first
place, which may actually be due to sex-related differences in
brain responses to visceral (body) and psychological (mind)
stressors, as well as hormonal influences. Women with IBS have
more severe symptoms and need more medications than men.
Small-bowel transit, gastric emptying, and colonic transit times
are all significantly different for women (even women without
IBS) than for men. and hormones are believed to play a large role
here. There are also estrogen receptors in the stomach and small
intestine, which react to changing levels of hormones.

Irritable bowel syndrome in pregnancy is quite common, and
although the condition does not affect a woman`s chances of
getting pregnant, during pregnancy the symptoms of the disorder
are often heightened incredibly. The hormonal changes that a
woman experiences throughout her pregnancy, especially if she had
irritable bowel syndrome beforehand, vary from one trimester to
another. During the first trimester, most women actually do not
even feel any of the hormonal effects on their body because they
are too busy coping with morning sickness, and usually at this
point in most cases the irritable bowel syndrome will all but
disappear. Then as the second trimester rolls around, hormonal
changes begin to become more apparent and symptoms of the
disorder will continue due to these hormonal changes.

Finally, in the third trimester, the symptoms continue and
usually even increase, and the most noticeable symptom is
constipation with most women. This is because pregnancy in
general causes the levels of progesterone in the body to rise and
in turn the muscles begin to relax. This causes the digestive
system to slow down and not only that but as well the lack of
exercise and proper diet are also major contributing factors in
most cases here. Irritable bowel syndrome in pregnancy can
obviously be quite troublesome, and so it is important to learn
about the different methods of treatment that are available to
help relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in
pregnancy. Participating in regular and safe pregnancy exercises
and drinking plenty of water are both ideal ways of relieving
irritable bowel syndrome in pregnancy.

You should also take soluble fiber supplements, make sure that
you get sufficient sleep, and there are even some medications
that you can take if your symptoms are particularly severe.
Diclectin is available, which helps with morning sickness, and
there is also Bentyl which prevents muscle spasms in the stomach
and bladder and which also helps to relax them. The best idea is
to get in to see your doctor as soon as you possibly can so that
they can assess your specific condition and determine what
particular method of treatment is going to be best suited to you
and your condition.
