Anti-inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is characterized by persistent inflammation, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and weight loss. Its etiology involves a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, and environmental factors. Management typically includes medication, dietary modifications, and sometimes surgery.
