Inflammatory bowel diseases, or IBD, encompass a range of conditions and issues that involve continuous inflammation of digestive tract tissues. These diseases are often chronic in nature, meaning that they persist for long periods of time. These diseases can cause a range of uncomfortable or painful symptoms for patients, including diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, blood during bowel movements, unexpected loss of weight and reduced appetite, and fatigue. The exact cause of inflammatory bowel disease is unknown, but reduced immune system response and genetics may play roles in the emergence of these diseases. People of any age can develop an inflammatory bowel disease, though they are particularly prevalent in people under the age of 30. Inflammatory bowel diseases that are left untreated may lead to more serious complications, so it’s important to seek medical treatment to improve your symptoms and lessen the risk of future issues emerging.
