Expert Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Proddatur
Dr. Nagalakshmi Speciality Hospital – Leading Center for Gastroenterology
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term for a group of chronic conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract.
The two most common types are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's can affect any part of the digestive tract, often the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine, with inflammation occurring in patches and extending through the entire intestinal wall.
Ulcerative colitis affects only the large intestine and rectum, with continuous inflammation starting at the rectum and extending upward, typically involving only the innermost lining.
IBD's exact cause is unknown but is believed to be a result of interactions between genetics, the immune system, and environmental triggers, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive tract.
Symptoms vary but often include persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and fever. Other symptoms can be urgency, incomplete bowel emptying, and extraintestinal manifestations like joint pain, skin rashes, and eye inflammation.
IBD is chronic, with symptoms coming and going in flare-ups and remissions.
Diagnosis involves blood tests, stool tests, imaging like CT or MRI, and colonoscopy with biopsies. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications, using medications like anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and biologics.
Surgery may be needed for damaged intestine removal or complication treatment. Nutritional therapy and lifestyle modifications like stress management are also important.
