Terminal ileitis is the inflammation of the terminal ileum, the final section of the small intestine that connects to the large intestine (colon). The terminal ileum has multiple important functions, including: Absorbing vitamin B12 in the body Absorbing bile acids, which help digest fats Playing a role in the body's immune system Symptoms Of Terminal Ileitis Here are some common symptoms of terminal ileitis: Pain and discomfort in the lower right side of the abdomen Chronic diarrhea (sometimes) Weight loss Fatigue Fever Blood in the stool (more common with Crohn's disease than with many infections)Terminal Ileitis & Crohn’s Disease HealthandMe spoke to Dr. Pramod Kadam, Consultant, General Surgery, Ruby Hall Clinic about terminal ileitis and Crohn's disease. Dr. Kadam explains, "It is generally related to inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's disease, but, it is essential to remember that the diagnosis of terminal ileitis is not a diagnosis but rather a clinical finding and can have many causes. Occasionally it can be caused by bacterial or viral infection, by prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), by intestinal tuberculosis, by lack of blood supply to the intestine or by other inflammation."However, terminal ileitis can also result from several other conditions. They are: Bacterial infections (such as Yersiniosis, Salmonellosis, or Campylobacteriosis) Ulcerative colitis (rarely, through backwash ileitis) Intestinal tuberculosis (especially in countries where TB is common) Long-term use of Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs Certain cancers Also read: Serena Williams Calls Anti-Doping Rules 'Unreasonable'; Experts Highlight Impact On Athletes' Mental HealthDr. Kadam also shared an update about the condition's diagnosis. He says, "The diagnosis typically relies on a series of blood tests, a stool examination, imaging tests (CT or MRI scans) and a colonoscopy with a biopsy to identify the underlying cause of the inflammation. Treatment depends upon the underlying condition. Antibiotics may be needed for infectious conditions, but anti-inflammatory drugs, immune-modulating drugs or biologic drugs may be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases. Surgical intervention is indicated only in cases of complications like intestinal constriction, intestinal blockage or perforation." Before this, Jasmin also faced another health scare during one of her shoots. She shared that she experienced severe discomfort in her eye, which escalated into a painful corneal injury. Later, she found out that her eye injury was identified as a reaction to her contact lenses. She went on to raise awareness about proper care and hygiene when using contact lenses. She revealed that receiving prompt medical attention and care is essential when it comes to such eye injuries.
