    Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) | Expert IBS Care at MIRA Health Care

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Although it is a long-term condition, it can often be effectively managed with the right treatment and lifestyle changes. IBS commonly causes abdominal discomfort, including bloating, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, indigestion, excessive gas and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea, constipation or both. Symptoms may vary from person to person and are often triggered by certain foods, stress, hormonal changes or other lifestyle factors.
    At MIRA Health Care, our experienced gastroenterology specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Through accurate diagnosis, dietary guidance, lifestyle modifications and evidence-based treatment, we help patients effectively manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

    • Laxatives for patients with constipation-predominant IBS, when medically indicated.
    • Antispasmodic medications to reduce abdominal cramps and relieve bowel spasms.

    FAQs – Irritable Bowel Syndrome at MIRA Health Care

    A breast specialist will perform a physical examination and may recommend diagnostic tests such as a breast ultrasound, mammogram or biopsy to identify the nature of the lump.

    No. Most breast lumps are not cancerous. They may be caused by conditions such as cysts, fibroadenomas, hormonal changes or infections. However, it is important to have any new or unusual lump evaluated by a doctor.

    You should seek medical advice if you notice a new breast lump, changes in an existing lump, persistent breast pain, nipple discharge, skin changes or any unusual changes in your breasts. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

    Some breast lumps, particularly those related to hormonal changes or simple cysts, may reduce in size or disappear over time. However, any persistent or recurring lump should be assessed by a breast specialist.

    At MIRA Health Care, our experienced breast specialists provide comprehensive breast examinations, advanced diagnostic imaging and personalised treatment for both benign and malignant breast conditions. We are committed to delivering compassionate, accurate and timely breast care to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
