What is Crohn’s Disease?

Crohn’s disease is a chronic intestinal inflammation that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. The causes are still unknown. It is characterized by intestinal ulcers, often alternating with stretches of healthy bowel, and, if not properly treated, can lead to complications such as stenosis or fistulas that may require surgery. Symptoms can range from abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea , weight loss, or fever. It can also affect the anal region with fistulas or abscesses. Immunosuppressive therapy and regular monitoring allow control of the disease and its progression in most cases.
