Seeking Crohn's Disease Treatment and (aka Crohn's) QQQs

This is what was found. Because the disease was first described by Crohn and others in 1932, it was named Crohn's disease (formerly known as Crohn's disease) by the World Health Organization. In the past, it was called "restrictive enteritis" and "granulomatous enteritis". The disease is most common in young people and can occur anywhere in the digestive tract (from the mouth to the anus), but is most common in the terminal ileum and the right half of the colon.

The cause of Crohn's disease is still unknown, and it is currently believed that it may be related to three factors: infection, heredity and immunity. Mental stimulation, dietary factors and unhygienic habits can induce exacerbation of the disease. The pathology is characterized by granulomatous inflammatory lesions, combined with fibrosis and ulceration, producing ulcers in the digestive tract, paving-stone-like mucosa and intestinal stenosis.

Symptoms vary because Crohn's disease can occur anywhere in the GI tract. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, anemia, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, abdominal masses, intestinal obstruction, and fistula formation, accompanied by malnutrition, anemia, arthritis, iritis, and liver disease.

X-rays and endoscopy can confirm the diagnosis of the disease. See the colonoscopy image
