It can control many facets of a patient's professional, emotional, and social life. Patients with moderate to severe conditions usually struggle with symptoms that frequently impair their emotional, physical, educational, social, and economic wellbeing.
Symptoms can vary and are sometimes contradictory, constipation can alternate with diarrhea. Long-term symptoms can disturb the patient's professional and personal activities, and usually limits an individual's potential.These factors further increase the need for irritable bowel syndrome treatment, which enable patients to go on with their regular life.

A significant number of people cannot distinguish IBS symptoms; it is still one of the most common disorders diagnosed by physicians. Not everyone with IBS symptoms pursues treatment for the same.
