Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and includes two main conditions — Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis. Both conditions cause long-lasting inflammation that can damage the intestinal walls.
Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fatigue. The condition tends to flare up periodically and can impact quality of life if not properly managed.
With early diagnosis and a personalized care plan, patients can effectively manage symptoms and prevent complications. Dr. Akshay Kulkarni offers advanced endoscopic evaluations and evidence-based treatments to help patients live comfortably with IBD.
