Crohn’s disease is the name of a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes swelling and inflammation in the tissues of the digestive tract. Crohn’s disease can lead to fatigue, severe diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition.

There are several areas of the digestive tract that can become inflamed as a result of Crohn’s disease. However, the most common location affected by this disease is the small intestine. In many cases, the inflammation spreads to deeper layers of the bowel system. This condition can be incredibly painful and debilitating. In severe cases, it can become life-threatening.

Although the exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, many believe that stress and diet are major contributing factors that can aggravate the symptoms of the disease. There are various other environmental, genetic, and hereditary factors that can result in a person suffering from Crohn’s disease.

How Many People Have Crohn’s Disease?

Statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that a total of 3.1 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases. This number equates to 1.3% of all adults living in the country. Worldwide, more than 6 million people suffer from Crohn’s disease. The total number is equal to between 100 and 300 cases per 100,000 people across the globe.

What are the Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease?

Crohn’s disease has an array of signs and symptoms for sufferers. These symptoms can range from mild to severe in nature. In many cases, the symptoms that patients suffer from develop gradually. In some instances, they cannot come on suddenly and without warning.

When a person is suffering from an active case of Crohn’s disease, some of the symptoms that they may experience include:

  • Fatigue
  • Mouth sores
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Diarrhea
  • Reduced appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Blood in the stool
  • Pain near or around the anus caused by inflammation
  • Drainage near or around the anus

In addition, patients may experience symptoms outside of the intestinal tract. Some of the most common symptoms reported include:

  • Delayed growth
  • Delayed sexual development in child sufferers
  • Inflammation of the bile ducts and/or liver
  • Inflammation of the joints
  • Eye inflammation
  • Skin inflammation
  • Kidney stones
  • Anemia or other iron deficiencies

There are also instances where people go into remission and have no signs or symptoms for an extended period. However, this does not mean that the condition has resolved itself or that a patient is cured. Regrettably, there is no cure for Crohn’s disease. However, there are several treatment options for people who suffer from this debilitating condition.

What Treatment Options are Available for Crohn’s Disease?

Given the fact that there is no cure for Crohn’s disease, doctors will often prescribe various medications in order to help alleviate the symptoms that patients suffer from and improve their long-term prognosis. In some cases, the goal of treatment is to limit complications that can be caused by the disease. The ideal treatment will not only lead to symptom relief but can also lead to remission, which can be long-term.

One of the most common types of drugs that are provided to patients is anti-inflammatory drugs like corticosteroids. These medications are designed to reduce inflammation in the body of the person who suffers from Crohn’s disease. Two of the most common types of medications provided to patients include budesonide and prednisone.

These medications are generally prescribed short-term to improve symptoms and to help induce remission in patients. In some cases, these medications are prescribed to patients in combination with other immune system suppressors in order to provide more relief to patients.

Another drug treatment option that patients may be prescribed is immune system suppressors. These drugs are also designed to reduce inflammation. This specifically targets the immune system, and we order to help improve symptoms. Common types of immune system suppressors prescribed to patients with Crohn’s disease include:

Methotrexate: This type of medication is generally provided to patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease that do not respond well to other medications provided.

Azathioprine: These medications are generally used the most when it comes to immunosuppressants for treating inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease.

Biologics are another type of medication that is routinely prescribed to patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease. Some of the common biologics used to treat this condition include:

  • Vedolizumab: This medication works to stop certain immune cell molecules from binding with other cells inside the lining of the intestines.
  • TNF Inhibitors: These drugs are designed to neutralize the tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is an immune system protein.
  • Ustekinumab: This medication is designed to interfere with the action of the inflammation protein known as interleukin.
  • Risankizumab: This medication works against the interleukin-23 molecule.

Other medications that are commonly prescribed to help patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease include antibiotics, pain relievers, antidiarrheals, supplements, and vitamins.

Although there is no cure for Crohn’s disease, we have seen recent studies surrounding the use of mesenchymal stem cells to treat this condition. The findings have been promising when it comes to offering a new treatment option for sufferers.
