Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a group of chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, primarily Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases cause inflammation and damage to the digestive system, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fatigue.
**Crohn’s disease** can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, and typically involves deep ulcerations and inflammation that can extend through the entire thickness of the intestinal wall. It often presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), weight loss, and malnutrition.
**Ulcerative colitis** primarily affects the colon and rectum, causing continuous inflammation and ulcers on the inner lining of the colon. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, urgency to defecate, and fatigue.
Managing IBD requires a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, dietitians, and other specialists. Treatment aims to induce and maintain remission, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life. Options include medications (such as immunosuppressants and biologics), dietary modifications, and in some cases, surgery to remove affected portions of the intestine or alleviate complications like strictures or fistulas.
