If you are young and have frequent diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss, don’t take it lightly because you may have a disease you’ve never heard of – inflammatory bowel disease.
From January 1991 to December 2010, the total number of reported cases of IBD in China was 342,924 over a 20-year period. Compared to the previous decade, the total number of cases in the latter decade increased more than 2.4 times, with ulcerative colitis increasing more than 2.3 times and Crohn’s disease increasing even more than 15 times. The global incidence rate reached 149/100,000, with the majority of the population being young adults aged 15-35.
IBD that turns the world upside down is too clean, Western-style diet is more likely to lead to the onset According to the introduction, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The high incidence of Crohn’s disease is between the ages of 15-35. Crohn’s disease can affect all parts of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, and the lesions can involve the entire layer of the intestine, and the diseased intestine and normal healthy intestine can alternate. In ulcerative colitis, the effects are often confined to the colon (large intestine) and there is no normal intestinal tissue between the diseased bowel segments.
This disease can be said to overturn some of the previous inherent understanding of the disease: for example, clean living environment, Western-style diet is more likely to lead to the development of Crohn’s disease; for example, Crohn’s disease, specializing in attacking the body of young people with strong resistance; the more economically developed areas, the higher the incidence of Crohn’s disease. Not only that, IBD is also characterized by complexity, long course and fickleness, which poses a great challenge for treatment.
IBD is a lifelong disabling disease, and recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and diarrhea can have varying degrees of physical and psychological impact on patients,” said Professor Hu Pinjin, chairman of the Asian Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colitis Organization and chief expert in the Department of Gastroenterology at the Sixth Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. We are working on a safe, timely, effective and patient-centered health management model, establishing a diagnosis and treatment team composed of multidisciplinary professionals such as medical, surgical, endoscopic, radiological, pathological and nursing professionals to provide timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment for IBD patients, completing ‘admission’, ‘file’, ‘file’ and ‘file’. ‘documentation’, ‘follow-up’ and ‘education’ and a series of other relevant services to help patients return to normal life as much as possible.” He also mentioned that the core of IBD health management is to establish a standardized IBD treatment center; establish efficient referral, interaction mechanism and health education.
Inflammatory bowel disease is one of the most serious diseases in the stomach, kidney and intestinal tract besides malignancy, and is known as the “green cancer”. According to Hu Pinjin, IBD patients are predominantly young and middle-aged. In the growth period but the disease, it will make many patients’ height, weight and other indicators far lower than their peers, which will not only cause a serious decline in the quality of life of patients, but also bring a great burden on social resources, but there is almost no way to prevent IBD, the only clear risk factors are smoking and high-fat diet structure. At the same time, IBD is a very “cunning” opponent, said Hu Pinjin, and treatment can only be “step by step”: different patients respond differently to different drugs, and the same patient may respond differently to the same drug at different stages, and the condition may change at any time. The condition may change at any time.
