The main manifestations are abdominal pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation, mucous stools, etc., with abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea being the most common manifestations. The abdominal pain is mainly in the left lower abdomen and lower abdomen, with varying degrees of severity, and can be relieved after defecation or passing gas. The frequency of bowel movements increases, to 2 to 6 times a day or more, and the stools are mostly mushy or loose, but without blood. Some patients have bowel movements once every 4 to 7 days, with dry and hard stools and difficulty in defecation. In addition, there may be upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, belching, acid reflux, heartburn, etc. Many patients also have symptoms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction such as fatigue, weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, dizziness, and headache.
