Chronic diarrhoea can be more than a passing digestive issue it may signal an underlying condition that requires medical attention. In Mumbai, patients often delay seeking care, assuming symptoms will subside on their own. However, diarrhoea lasting more than four weeks may indicate conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or infections that need specialized evaluation.
At Dr. Harshad Joshi’s clinic, chronic diarrhoea is assessed through a detailed history, stool analysis, blood tests, and advanced procedures like colonoscopy or double balloon enteroscopy. Identifying the root cause is critical, as treatment differs for each patient. For instance, patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease may benefit from biologics such as infliximab or vedolizumab, while those with celiac disease improve significantly with a gluten-free diet.
Lifestyle and diet adjustments also play a key role. Clinical nutrition guidance ensures patients maintain hydration, electrolyte balance, and nutritional health while reducing flare-ups. With early diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, most patients can regain comfort and control over their digestive health.
If you are facing persistent digestive issues, consult Dr. Harshad Joshi in Mumbai for expert evaluation and treatment of chronic diarrhoea.
