ileitis

Ileitis is an inflammation of the ileum, the final part of the small intestine. It can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. Causes vary and may include infections, inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease, or other factors. The inflammation can disrupt normal digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to health issues. Diagnosis often involves medical imaging, endoscopy, and lab tests. Treatment depends on the cause but may include medications to reduce inflammation or manage symptoms. Prompt medical evaluation is important to determine the underlying cause and ensure appropriate care.
