Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of conditions, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, that cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms typically include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss. If left untreated, inflammatory bowel disease can lead to severe complications, making timely medical intervention crucial.
