Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am

I can certainly understand your concern.

Considering your symptoms the possibility of irritable bowel is high. But it's advisable to rule out certain conditions of the abdomen which can present similarly. For the same reason it's advisable to consider Ultrasound abdomen scan to determine further course of action.

Irritable bowel movements are benign and will subside gradually.

Review with reports to determine further course of action.

Post your questions if any
Thank you
