What Happens If IBS Goes Untreated?
While IBS is not considered a life-threatening condition, it can pose serious complications if left untreated, including:
- Pain and Discomfort - IBS can cause pain or discomfort, especially if it goes on for long periods.
- Bloating - A common symptom of IBS with constipation (IBS-C) is bloating, where the bowel becomes blocked, allowing the bacteria within the gut to continue fermenting.
- Hemorrhoids - Also known as piles, hemorrhoids are commonly associated with IBS; if the underlying condition is not properly managed, hemorrhoids can be uncomfortable and could risk getting worse as time goes on.
- Diverticulitis - In some cases, IBS can contribute to other issues, such as diverticulitis; this can arise if the bowels bulge due to the backlog of waste.
