What is terminal ileitis?

Terminal ileitis is an inflammation in the last part of the small intestine. This is not a separate disease in itself, but it is a sign that due to some reason there is problem or swelling in this part of the intestine. Many people associate it only with Crohn’s disease, but this is not always the case.

What are the reasons for this problem?

There can be many reasons behind this swelling. Infection caused by bacteria or virus, TB, taking some painkillers for a long time, problems to the body’s immune system, anemia in the intestine or other inflammatory diseases can cause it. For proper treatment, it is important to first know its real cause.

What symptoms can be seen?

In this problem, pain in the lower right side of the stomach is considered to be the most common symptom. Apart from this, frequent diarrhea, feeling tired, mild fever, weight loss, weakness in the body and in some cases bleeding with stool can also be seen. Many times these symptoms come intermittently, so people ignore them considering them as normal stomach pain.

Why can delay in treatment be dangerous?

If timely treatment is not received, the inner lining of the intestine can be damaged. Due to this, there is deficiency of Vitamin B12, iron and other essential nutrients in the body. In severe cases, problems like intestinal wounds, bleeding, narrowing or blockage of the intestine may also occur. Therefore, in case of persistent stomach pain, diarrhea or fever, one should immediately consult a doctor.

At the same time, fish rich in Omega-3, flax seeds and nuts are also considered helpful in reducing inflammation. However, the patient should decide his diet according to his condition only after consulting a doctor or dietician.
