Core Tip

Core Tip: Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic intestinal condition. Early diagnosis is vital but often delayed owing to nonspecific symptoms and limited diagnostic tools. Delayed diagnosis exacerbates symptoms, increases risks such as cancer, and reduces quality of life. To improve outcomes, early diagnosis through enhanced physician awareness, patient education, and the development of advanced diagnostic methods is crucial.
