IBD

  • Category : Gastrointestinal Problems


Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that causes long-term inflammation of the digestive tract. The two main types of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions can lead to symptoms such as persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, and sometimes blood in stool.

IBD is an autoimmune condition, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive tract. It requires long-term medical management and regular monitoring to control inflammation and prevent complications.

In West Shalimar Bagh, patients receive expert evaluation and advanced treatment for IBD with a focus on long-term digestive health and symptom control.

Dr. Deepak Kothari provides comprehensive IBD care including diagnosis, inflammation control, dietary guidance, and long-term disease management.
