These were examined and it was found that 41 fulfilled the criteria. 4 questionnaires were found; Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) questionnaire, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome \u2013 Quality of Life (IBSQOL) questionnaire, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome-36 question (IBS-36) questionnaire, and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale. Subscores for sexual relations in IBS-QOL ranged from 37.7\u2212100 (11.9) for patients with IBS and 82.2\u2212100 (6.6) for controls. The IBSQOL and IBS-36 subscores for sexual relations ranged from 49.7\u221290.5 (9) to 3.9\u22125.4 (0.8) with no healthy controls for comparison. After interventions were implemented, there was an improvement in subscores (the\u00a0IBS-QOL mean changed to 10.5%, IBSQOL mean changed to 3.8%, and the IBS-36 mean changed to 40%).
