Chronic diarrhoea lasting more than a few weeks should not be ignored, as it often signals an underlying gastrointestinal issue. In Mumbai, Dr. Harshad Joshi provides expert care in identifying and treating the root causes of persistent diarrhoea, helping patients regain control of their health.
Conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease are frequent culprits. Accurate diagnosis involves detailed clinical evaluation, blood work, stool analysis, and sometimes endoscopic procedures. Dr. Joshi may also utilize double-balloon enteroscopy for deeper inspection of the small intestine when necessary.
Treatment varies depending on the cause. For inflammatory conditions, medications like infliximab or vedolizumab may be prescribed. When malabsorption is involved, especially in cases like celiac disease, clinical nutrition plays a vital role in symptom control.
Ignoring chronic diarrhoea can lead to severe dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and decreased quality of life. Addressing it early ensures better outcomes and long-term relief.
If you’re facing persistent digestive discomfort, consult Dr. Harshad Joshi in Mumbai for specialized evaluation and treatment.
