I just took a health inquiry. It came back IBS. What is IBS?  And can you get it by being hit with force in  the abdomen on the left side?  I have pain and strain while going to the bathroom even when my bowels are soft, for the last 3 years. What test that I can easily take to see inside?
Hi. As the name suggests - IBS is Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. You have pain-this is the most important symptom. Hitting of abdomen can cause this if the hit has caused bowel wall edema and its complications. The best way is colonoscopy and is done to rule out other problems. As there is no specific reason the treatment will depend upon the factors which increase your problem. You may please consult the Gastroenterologist.
