Inflammatory Bowel Disease- Ibd-Ulcerative Colitis/ Crohn's Disease

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.
