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.
