A member asked:
What is visceral hypersensitivity and its cause. can it be the same as chronic continuous ibs pain? what are the latest treatment options available?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Close, but...: Visceral hypersensitivity is believed to be one mechanism thru which ibs manifests--but there are many, each representing a target for possible treatments. Effective therapeutic options include: receptor-mediators, various antidepressants, motility-acting agents, non-pharmacologic approaches, more. Distinction of ibs from organic pathology is critical. As to your "continous pain", don't you sleep?
