About Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is not a single procedure but a chronic condition primarily managed by a Gastroenterologist. It encompasses disorders like Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, characterized by persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Management is a comprehensive, long-term process involving accurate diagnosis through endoscopy and imaging, followed by a personalized treatment plan. This plan aims to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, achieve and maintain remission, and prevent complications. Treatment strategies include medication, nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgery. Ongoing monitoring and adjustment by a specialist are crucial for improving quality of life and long-term outcomes for patients with IBD.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
