IBD Management (Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis)

Types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. It causes inflammation that may penetrate deep into the intestinal wall and lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis affects the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It leads to inflammation and ulcers in the colon, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding.
IBD Flare-ups
Patients with IBD may experience flare-ups where symptoms suddenly worsen. Proper management and medication can help control inflammation and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
IBD Complications
Untreated IBD may lead to complications such as intestinal strictures, nutritional deficiencies, or colon damage. Early diagnosis helps prevent serious complications.
Common Symptoms of IBD
- Persistent diarrhea
- Abdominal pain or cramps
- Blood in stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue and weakness
- Loss of appetite
- Fever during flare-ups
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Accurate diagnosis of IBD involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, imaging, and endoscopic procedures to assess the inflammation and condition of the digestive tract.
