Suggest Treatment For Ileocolitis
Question: I have IBS and recently had a colonoscopy. There were no polyps. The pathologist wrote: Note: The changes are non-specific, but given the findings in the cecum as well as in the splenic flexure of colon, the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease/Chrohn's, drug reaction and infection are raised. Clinical corelation is suggested. No dysplasia is seen. My gastro doctor says I have ileocolitis. All my bloods are normal.
Brief Answer:
Ask for a second opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It is very common for pathologist to give reports which is a little value and also confusing.
Here is what you should do
1. Go by your doctor's advice and first undergo treatment with antibiotics for the ileocolitis.
2. I usually ask my patient to take the slides and ask for a second opinion from a pathologist of some other hospital
3. A repeat colonoscopy should be done after treatment to see for results
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
