摘要

Background

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent yet intricate gastrointestinal condition that poses substantial challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. The lack of definitive diagnostic markers and the focus on symptom-based therapies often result in inadequate relief for patients, leading to frustration and psychological distress. In areas where access to healthcare is limited, the uncertainty surrounding IBS frequently drives patients to explore alternative treatments, including traditional medicine, which can potentially worsen the condition or introduce new health risks.

Aim

This case report study aimed to examine the underappreciated role of exercise as a viable treatment for IBS, shedding light on the shortcomings of current diagnostic and therapeutic practices. It provides an important perspective on the diagnostic and treatment challenges of IBS and presents exercise as a highly effective non-pharmacological intervention that is often underutilized in clinical practice in Ethiopia.
