| Crohn’s and Colitis Program |
A
type of disorder in which the tract of the gastrointestinal system gets
affected, Crohn’s disease is highly inflammatory and chronic disorder. It is
extremely symptomatic and since it is so, the treatment for the disorder can be
started quite early. The disorder is most likely to last life long and is
understood to be an inflammatory bowel disorder. The inflammation usually leads to the
formation of ulcers in the intestines. The onset of Crohn’s disease is
generally seen in the end part of the small intestines and in the beginning
part of the large intestines. However, there are treatment procedures in place
and the Crohn’s and Colitis Program can
be undertaken.
The disease
is highly symptomatic and hence it is very easy to diagnose the problem.
However, most of these symptoms can show up at regular intervals or can be
triggered very suddenly. Some of the common symptoms include:
·
Acute Abdominal
Pain: The pain is almost like cramps occurring within the abdomen region and it
occurs intermittently, but as the condition worsens the pains turns into a
constant nagging pain.
·
Diarrhea and Blood
in Stools: The urge is sometimes very frequent up to 15-20 times a day and in
some case blood is seen in the stools.
·
Loss of Weight &
Appetite: Both these conditions are very common for people who suffer from
Crohn’s disease.
·
Fever: If the
patient is suffering from high fever it is an indication that the infection is
very severe and urgent treatment is called for.
Though
the cause of the disease is still unknown, a lot of lifestyle changes, exercise
and a healthy diet are recommended. Today there are specialized treatment
offered for both Colitis and Crohns Disease at the
Colitis and Crohns Disease Treatment Hamilton clinics. Highly skilled and well
–qualified doctors are engaged in these clinics that offer high quality
treatment to patients suffering from both the conditions.
