IBS related
Hello Doctors,
Good Evening. Kindly let me know the symptoms of IBS? And where exactly is the pain felt. Also pls let me know is the colon located on the left side?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. I am asking this for my Father. Due to lockdown I can't take him to a good Gastrointestinal Doctor. I googled the symptoms but Google says Cancer And Cancer..misleading. My Dad said he was confirmed at the age of 60 that he had IBS.. I don't know how he confirmed. He is 72 approx now.
Regards
