Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis are the two main types of IBD.
Crohn’s Disease-The digestive system can be affected in any area from the mouth to the anus by Crohn’s disease But generally, the small intestine is involved. And also multiple segments of intestines may involve.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis affects the rectum and the large intestine and a continuous segment of the intestine is involved.
IBD is a chronic illness and the exact cause remains elusive and autoimmune ethology has been proposed. Patients need some diet changes and medicine to control it. It is usually treated with a high-fibre diet or any other fibre supplements given. Antibiotics, probiotics and medicines to reduce inflammation are prescribed for the patients. Some patients with excessive symptoms and complications like obstruction, bowel perforation, malignant transformation and excessive diarrhoea require surgical interventions.
