Does ibs cause discharge?

You’re probably reading this article because, like many who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you have experienced unusual discharges. But is IBS really the culprit behind these unwelcome surprises? Let’s dive into it.

Understanding IBS

Before we can tackle the question at hand, let’s take a quick look at what exactly is going on with IBS.

IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It involves issues in the large intestine – including bloating, gas and abdominal pain that can occur both before and after bowel movements (ouch!).

In addition to these symptoms, some sufferers may also experience changes in bowel habits – namely diarrhea or constipation. And just when things couldn’t seem worse for those dealing with such an embarrassing condition…

The Problem of Discharge

Yes folks, discharge could be yet another symptom amidst all your other daily struggles caused by IBS (just dandy!). In fact discharge could even be present between BMs, leaving you feeling uncomfortable (more like un-freaking-bearable!).

But here’s what’s causing tons of head scratching – there are so many reasons out there that lead to vaginal leaks or rectal discharges besides having an irritable gut (what gives?!)

So if discharge isn’t always caused by good old-fashioned garden-variety ibs then how do you know if they’re related?

Well strap yourself in as we peel back the layersof mystery surrounding IBDischargewithout further ado!

When Is You-know-what Not Caused By Ibs?

It may surprise you to learn that not every instance of “discharge” actually has anything to do with Irritable BowelSyndrome.Here are some other possible culprits:

Colon Cancer

Before everyone goes jumping off their chairs donning tin-foil hats, let’s clarify that colon cancer isn’t inherently a symptom of IBS. However there may be some unfortunate people who have both conditions simultaneously (What fresh hell is this?!). In such cases, dischargefrom the cancerous area could be misattributed to the symptoms of IBS (That basically takes microaggressionsto another level).

Bacterial Imbalances and Other Health Conditions

There are quite a number of health issues that could lead to discharge. Some known causes being:

  • Yeast infections
  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhea
  • Sexually Transmitted Diseases
  • urinary tract infection (UTI)
    …just to name a few.

So When Is It Really IBSD?

Just because you’re experiencing leakage doesn’t mean it’s the end-all-be-all proof for an IBS diagnosis – but here are signs indicatingit most likelyis!
