What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Inflammatory Bowel Disease might be referring to Crohn?s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis. These are inflammatory conditions of the bowel. Crohn?s Disease can affect any segment of the intestine but Ulcerative Colitis only affects the large bowel (also known as the colon).

In both cases, common symptoms include abdominal pains and diarrhoea that often has some blood. If you are concerned about any symptoms, consult your GP. Your GP might suggest a referral to Coast Colorectal in certain circumstances.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Diagnosis and Treatment

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Colitis can be diagnosed through a colonoscopy. If a diagnosis is obtained, the next step is to manage the condition medically. A gastroenterologist can assist with this.

In some cases, medical therapy might not result in relief, or complications might arise, such as bowel obstruction, fistulas, or cancer. In these scenarios, surgery is the next line of treatment.

The surgical procedure involves removing some or all of the bowel. If you require surgical treatment for one of these conditions, your colorectal surgeon will explain your procedure in detail.
