Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Context

The rising incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) across the globe has become a concern for doctors.

About Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses chronic inflammation of tissues within the digestive tract, presenting enduring disorders.
  • Two primary forms of IBD exist:
    • Ulcerative colitis: Involving inflammation and ulceration along the colon and rectum's lining.
    • Crohn's disease: Characterized by inflammation of the digestive tract lining, potentially extending to deeper layers.
  • Symptoms typically associated with both types of IBD include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and weight loss.
