DIGESTIVE DISEASES (IBD) AND ENDOSCOPY

Food is an important aspect of living organisms, aside from breathing, food is the second most priority of living. However, what we eat affects our health a lot by making the organs comfortable or uncomfortable while dissolving them.  

There are many issues that can arise in the organs and glands that work in the digestion of food. People experience some very discomforting situations while the body tries to digest the food in the digestive tract. The conditions related to the digestive tract are known as digestive diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). 

Inflammatory bowel disease is a term used to describe the disorder of chronic inflammation present in the digestive tract. According to the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment in Lucknow, there are two types of IBD, including:

• Ulcerative colitis – Inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum, 
• Crohn’s Disease – Inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract involving even deeper layers. 

Both these types are often related to diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss and can be life-threatening sometimes. The cause of IBD is still unknown and the symptoms can vary, depending on where and how severe the inflammation is.

Most of the conditions related to the digestive tract are examined with the help of endoscopy. Using an endoscope (which is a thin flexible tube with a light and camera attached to its top) can help the doctor view the digestive tract clearly on the monitor.
