在世界工业化地区，女性因肠易激综合征(IBS)寻求医疗服务的频率高于男性。性别在IBS中的作用可能是多因素的，涉及性腺激素、应激反应和炎症反应的内在生理差异，以及对疼痛和/或肠道模式变化的社会文化差异。这篇简短的综述特别讨论了内脏敏感性、动力和自主神经系统平衡方面的性别差异，这些都是导致IBS表现性别差异的潜在因素。(C)2008 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
In industrialized parts of the world, women seek health care services for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) more frequently than men. The role of gender in IBS is likely multifactorial involving inherent physiological differences in gonadal hormones, stress reactivity, and inflammatory responses, as well as sociocultural differences in response to pain and/or bowel pattern changes. This mini-review in particular addresses gender differences in visceral sensitivity, motility, and autonomic nervous system balance as potential factors contributing to gender differences in IBS presentation.
