IBD refers to chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, typically classified as:
Crohn’s Disease: Can affect any part of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus, often involving deep layers of the bowel.
Ulcerative Colitis: Primarily affects the colon and rectum, leading to ulcers and inflammation of the innermost lining.
Dr. Kiran uses state-of-the-art tools to diagnose and evaluate the severity of IBD
Colonoscopy and Endoscopy: Visualize and assess inflammation or ulcers in the GI tract.
Imaging Studies:CT or MRI scans to detect complications like fistulas or strictures.
Stool and Blood Tests: Identify inflammation markers, anemia, or infection.
Tailored Treatment Options: Treatment for IBD focuses on controlling inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing flare-ups:
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Reduce inflammation in the GI tract.
Immune Modulators:Suppress the immune system to prevent flare-ups.
Biologics: Target specific molecules causing inflammation.
Dietary Changes: Avoid trigger foods, adopt a balanced diet, and ensure adequate nutrition.
Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate IBD symptoms.
In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove damaged portions of the GI tract or manage complications.
While there is no cure for IBD, effective treatment can manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and achieve long-term remission.
Common triggers include stress, certain foods, infections, and missing medications.
No, most cases are managed with medications and lifestyle changes. Surgery is only recommended for severe complications.
Diet plays an essential role but usually complements medications and other treatments rather than replacing them.
Regular follow-ups are essential, typically every 3-6 months, depending on disease severity. If you are experiencing symptoms of IBD, consult Dr. Kiran Kumar Jogu at Kiran Gastro & Liver Clinic, Hyderabad, for expert care and personalized treatment. Take control of your digestive health today.
