About Treatment

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and malnutrition. The exact causes of IBD are unclear but likely involve genetic, immune system, and environmental factors. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms with medications like anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, biologics, and antibiotics.
