Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic inflammatory conditions that primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract. The two primary types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions involve chronic inflammation and damage to the digestive system and can cause a range of symptoms and complications.
IBD is a chronic condition that often requires long-term management, and there may be periods of remission and flare-ups. Regular follow-up with a gastroenterologist or IBD specialist is essential to monitor the disease's progression and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. Early and effective management can help improve the quality of life for individuals with IBD.
