Complex Crohn's treatment in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore

Crohn's is a complex problem noticed in the digestive system. Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation in the digestive tract and causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and fatigue. Although inflammation can affect different areas of the digestive tract in different people, it is common in the small intestine. The inflammation may also spread to a deeper level. Complex Crohn's is painful, and sometimes it becomes life-threatening. Although Crohn's disease may occur at any stage, it is common among people in their late teens or twenties. 

The treatment procedure can be done by recommending either medicine or surgery. In case of a lack of improvement in the symptoms of Crohn's disease, you may have to undergo surgery.

Treatment with Medicines

The doctor will prescribe you medicine based on the symptoms. Some medicines prescribed by the doctor are Aminosalicylates, Corticosteroids, Immunomodulators, and biological therapies.

  • Aminosalicylates - It contains five aminosalicylic acids, which help to reduce inflammation. Doctors prescribe this medicine to people with mild symptoms.

  • Corticosteroids - It is a type of steroid which helps to control inflammation by reducing the activity of the immune system. People with moderate to severe symptoms have been prescribed this medicine.

  •  Immunomodulators - Immunomodulators help to reduce the activity in the immune system and help to protect your digestive tract against inflammation.

  • Biologic Therapies - These medicines help to neutralise proteins produced by the immune system. Biologic therapies work better when you are non-responsive to other medicine.
