Irritable bowel syndrome.
An inflammation of the mucous membrane in the intestine, in which the person experiences pain caused by spasms in the muscles of the walls of the colon, accompanied by constipation or diarrhoea or alternating attacks of both.
In this condition, the patient frequently experiences bowel movements each day, often accompanied by discomfort or pain. The stools may include large chunks of mucus, and sometimes even tube-like pieces that appear to be full molds of the inner lining of the colon. This form is commonly seen in individuals who are emotionally sensitive or anxious.
