About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Inflammatory bowel disease”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract, including the colon and small intestine. The two most common forms of IBD are Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis.

Crohns disease can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, and causes inflammation and scarring in the affected areas. Symptoms of Crohns disease can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue.

Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon and rectum and causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon. Symptoms of ulcerative colitis can include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and urgent bowel movements.

Inflammatory bowel disease
Slide 2-

Introduction Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is mainly used to describe Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease, two conditions which involve inflammation of the gut. These two conditions affect more than 300,000 people in the UK. Crohn’s and Colitis UK
Slide 3-

Inflammatory bowel disease Each condition affects a different part of the gut. Ulcerative Colitis only affects the colon (large intestine) whereas Crohn's disease can affect any part of the digestive system. NHS
Slide 4-

Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative Colitis causes inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the colon and rectum (the large bowel). When the colon is inflamed, it is less able to absorb fluid and cannot hold as much waste. This means people with Ulcerative Colitis have a larger volume of watery stools and very frequent bowel movements. Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic condition, meaning it affects people throughout their lives. There is currently no cure for Ulcerative Colitis, however drugs are used to treat and manage the symptoms. Crohn’s and Colitis UK
Slide 5-

Crohn’s Disease Crohn’s Disease is a condition that causes inflammation of the digestive system. This inflammation alters the body’s ability to digest food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste. Like Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease is a chronic condition, meaning it affects people throughout their lives. Again, there is currently no cure for Crohn’s Disease, however drugs are used to treat and manage the symptoms. Crohn’s and Colitis UK
Slide 6-

Symptoms Symptoms of IBD include: pain, cramps or swelling in the tummy; recurring or bloody diarrhoea; weight loss; extreme tiredness. These symptoms will not occur in all sufferers, and, in some, there may be additional symptoms, including fever, vomiting and anaemia. The symptoms of IBD can vary in severity however drugs, specific diets, lifestyle changes and even surgery can be used to manage severe symptoms. NHS
