This image depicts a woman sitting on a couch in visible discomfort, holding her abdominal area—a typical sign of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS symptoms may include cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, or constipation. These symptoms can be persistent or fluctuate over time, often triggered by stress, food, or hormonal changes. The photo illustrates the daily struggle many people face with IBS and highlights the importance of diagnosis and management to improve quality of life.
