Symptoms and hazards of terminal ileitis

Ileitis may cause significant abdominal distension or pain, and may also cause intestinal obstruction.

Terminal ileitis is a type of inflammation that occurs at the end of the intestine. The intestinal mucosa may be severely damaged, causing congestion or edema, and a significant increase in the frequency of bowel movements. In severe cases, there may also be intestinal obstruction, fever, and nutritional disorders, which can easily lead to weight loss or affect the intestinal absorption of nutrients.

Ileitis is an autoimmune disease. It may also be caused by bacterial infection, lack of attention to food hygiene, or eating spoiled and moldy food. It may also be related to genetic and emotional factors. There are many causes and the condition is complicated. Mild cases can be treated with oral levofloxacin. If the condition is more serious, intravenous infusion may be required to avoid electrolyte imbalance or dehydration.

Pay attention to oral hygiene and dietary management, eat more fresh ingredients, and disinfect tableware regularly. Be sure to wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly when eating them to avoid drugs staying on the surface for a long time. Do not have regular meals three times a day, and try not to eat too much greasy or additive-containing food, as the nutritional value is relatively low.
