Crohn's disease is an infection that affects the lining of the internal organs, especially the digestive tract. It results in pain and can cause damage to internal organs if not treated quickly. Most of the time, Crohn's disease is caused by a bacterial infection called Crohn's. There are other possible causes, however, and sometimes, none at all, and it is important to know the difference. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, around 3 million adults were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in the U.S.
The best Crohn's disease treatment option available is anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. These medications can be given orally or used in other ways. Some patients may also respond to steroids. In most cases, surgery is not necessary. Topical anesthetics can be used to relieve some of the symptoms of Crohn's. Although this anesthetic will numb the area that it is used on, it will not prevent one from feeling pain or burning. Although local anesthesia can be used, general anesthesia is used when dealing with a larger area.
Systemic antibiotics are used to treat Crohn's Disease. Some of them can be found below. Some of these drugs can be harmful to people with certain heart conditions, such as angina. Others may not even work at all, and they can weaken your immune system. Systemic antibiotics should be used under close medical supervision. Surgery may be needed to remove or change the affected areas of the intestines. This may include intestinal or sigmoidoscopy. A laparoscope may also be used. This is a long thin tube that is used to see inside the body. It can also be used to diagnose and treat many problems. Recently, in December 2020, researchers from the University of Alabama demonstrated a new method for Crohn’s disease treatment with the help of a mouse model and immune-reactive T cells from patients suffering from the same disease.
