Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032


 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent medical condition characterized by chronic, recurrent abdominal pain, discomfort, and altered bowel habits. This condition occurs in the absence of other organic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, and its underlying cause is still under investigation but is believed to involve multiple factors. The factors that may trigger disruptions in GI motor and sensory function include irritation from digestive byproducts, past gastroenteritis, internal irritants, gut microbiome changes, mucosal immune responses, food intolerance, and increased mucosal permeability. These underlying disruptions give rise to symptoms such as discomfort, gut motility changes, and bowel habit alterations. Genetic factors may also contribute to the development of IBS. BS can manifest with a wide array of gastrointestinal symptoms. While abdominal pain is one of the most common complaints, individuals with IBS may also experience bloating, a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying, urgency, diarrhea, straining, and constipation. The abdominal pain in IBS is typically crampy and varies in location and intensity. This pain is often associated with bowel movements, with some patients experiencing relief after bowel movements and others having worsening pain during them. Additionally, meals and emotional stress can exacerbate abdominal pain in some patients. Functional bowel disease experts established the Rome criteria to manage patients with abdominal symptoms resembling IBS. According to this classification, IBS is categorized based on the predominant stool pattern as follows:

·       IBS with predominant constipation (IBS-C): characterized by more than 25% hard stools and less than 25% loose stools.

·       IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D): marked by more than 25% loose stools and less than 25% hard stools.

·       IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS-M): characterized by more than 25% loose stools and more than 25% hard stools.

·       IBS unclassified (IBS-U): characterized by less than 25% loose stools and less than 25% hard stools.

·       The differential diagnosis for IBS is extensive. A comprehensive patient history, physical examination, and a few laboratory tests can help rule out conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, microscopic colitis, post-cholecystectomy bile acid diarrhea, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Patients with IBS-C may also have pelvic floor dysfunction or colonic transit disorders. If treatment fails to alleviate symptoms, further evaluation may be necessary, including a rectal examination to identify patients with dyssynergia or pelvic floor issues. Management of IBS encompasses dietary adjustments, medication options, and mind-body treatments. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two agents, lubiprostone and linaclotide, specifically for IBS-C treatment.

·       In the United States, IBS has a prevalence ranging from 7% to 16%, with a higher incidence in women and younger individuals.
