Colitis and Its Management
Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon (large intestine), a condition that can cause a range of digestive issues and significantly impact daily life. It may arise from infections, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or autoimmune responses. The symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, chronic flare-ups that require medical intervention.
Dr. Maneesh Paliwal is well-versed in diagnosing and managing all forms of colitis, including ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis, and infectious colitis. His patient-centered care model ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to not only relieve symptoms but also improve long-term digestive health and quality of life.
🔥 Common Causes of Colitis
- Autoimmune conditions like Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s disease
- Bacterial infections (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium difficile)
- Long-term use of certain medications (NSAIDs, antibiotics)
- Reduced blood flow to the colon (ischemic colitis)
- Allergic reactions, especially in infants and young children
- Genetic predisposition and immune dysregulation
