What is Crohn's
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and irritation in digestive tract, most commonly affecting the small intestine and colon. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, eye inflammation, and sometimes fever. The exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
SIGNS/SYMPTOMS
Crohn’s disease symptoms vary but often include Stomach pain, cramping, chronic diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and reduced appetite. As one of the many digestive diseases, it can also cause issues such as fever, nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, bloody stools, anemia, joint pain, and skin rashes. Symptoms fluctuate, with flare-ups followed by remission. The disease affects the entire digestive tract, mainly the small and large intestines, leading to complications like bowel obstructions and ulcers. In severe cases, it can cause life-threatening conditions such as fistulas, abscesses, or intestinal perforation, requiring medical intervention or surgery.
LIVING WITH CROHN'S
Living with Crohn’s disease is challenging due to unpredictable flare-ups, but proper management can help control symptoms. Treatment includes medications, dietary changes, stress management, and regular medical monitoring. A family history increases the risk, making early awareness and care important. In severe cases, surgery may be needed. Crohn’s can affect growth and sexual development, especially in young patients. Emotional support is key, and with the right care, many people with Crohn’s live fulfilling lives. While there’s no cure, medical advancements allow for effective symptom management and better quality of life.
Common treatments for Crohn's
Common treatments for Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, aim to lessen inflammation and control symptoms. Medications include anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids for flare-ups, immunosuppressants, and biological therapies targeting immune system proteins. Antibiotics may be used for infections. Diet, including avoiding trigger foods and using supplements, is crucial. Surgery may be needed if medications fail. Lifestyle changes like stress management, exercise, and sleep also help control symptoms. Treatment plans are personalized based on severity and symptoms.
