Chron’s
Disease IBD Specialist Proctologists / Doctors Los Angeles, Beverly
Hills, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach
Crohn’s Disease can be diagnosed and treated by the proctologists at
the Proctology Institute of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach,
or Huntington Beach. Crohn’s Disease is diagnosed by our doctors with an
EGD/colonoscopy with biopsy by the best in class proctologist and
evaluated by a pathologist. A special test called a “capsule endoscopy”
may be performed by the specialist to evaluate the small intestine.
What is Crohn’s Disease?
Crohn’s Disease, also known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), is a
chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can involve the entire
gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the perianal region around the
anal opening. Although irritation can arise anywhere along the GI tract,
the inflammation most commonly appears at first in the last portion of
the small intestine, called the terminal ileum.
Crohn’s Disease is a fistulizing disease where abnormal connections
are developed either within the gastrointestinal tract or between the
gastrointestinal tract and other adjoining structures such as the colon,
bladder, vagina, and others.
What are the symptoms
of Crohn’s Disease?
Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease can vary from patient to patient, and may
include:
- Abdominal pain
- Anal pain
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Rectal abscess
- Anal fissure
- Arthritis
- Skin lesions
- Anal skin tags
How
is Crohn’s Disease treated at the Proctology Institute?
There is currently no cure for Crohn’s Disease, but drug therapy is
generally considered a good choice to improve symptoms. Other options
may include one or more of the following treatments:
- Medications, both oral and intravenous
- Dietary changes to minimize inflammation
- Surgery to correct the complications of the disease
