Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) is a subtype of irritable bowel syndrome characterized by abdominal discomfort or bloating accompanied by constipation. Constipation is typically defined as infrequent passage of stools (less than three times per week) with the presence of hard stools or a feeling of incomplete bowel movements. Symptoms of IBS-C encompass abdominal pain, discomfort, and changes in bowel function. Bloating and/or gas may also occur. Changes in bowel function can manifest as straining during bowel movements, infrequent stools, the presence of hard or lumpy stools, and a sensation that the bowel does not fully empty. Some individuals may experience a feeling of "blockage" that impedes stool passage, requiring them to apply pressure or change body positions to aid in completing a bowel movement. The frequency or appearance of stools may vary during episodes of abdominal discomfort. It is worth noting that abdominal discomfort often improves following a bowel movement in individuals with IBS-C. While symptoms typically persist (chronic), they can exhibit periods of remission and recurrence.
