Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)?

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a long-term inflammation of the digestive tract. The two main types are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is one of Dr. Noor's focus areas, and he has presented work on the spectrum of IBD in Central India.

Symptoms that may suggest IBD

• Persistent diarrhoea
• Blood or mucus in stool
• Abdominal pain and cramping
• Weight loss and fatigue
• Urgency to pass stool
• Anaemia

How Dr. Noor can help

Diagnosis usually involves colonoscopy with biopsy along with blood and stool tests. IBD is managed with long-term medication and regular monitoring to control inflammation and maintain remission.
