Best Doctors for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Mumbai

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, long-term disorder affecting the digestive system. It causes discomfort or pain in the abdomen, bloating, and altered bowel habits, leading to either diarrhoea or constipation. The exact cause of IBS remains unclear, but it has been linked to oversensitive nerves in the gut, stress, and gastrointestinal infections.

In Mumbai like in other Indian cities, the number of cases of IBS and other digestive disorders is on the rise. This has led to a growing demand for experienced irritable bowel syndrome treatment doctors. Fortunately, Apollo Hospitals in Mumbai houses some of the best doctors for abdominal discomfort treatment, the gastroenterologist offering personalised and comprehensive care.
