Frequently Asked Questions
Crohn’s Disease Q & A
What is Crohn’s disease?
Crohn’s disease causes inflammation in your digestive tract, which can produce several unpleasant and painful symptoms that can become very serious, especially without treatment. Usually, this inflammation spreads throughout several layers of the digestive tract, making it difficult to treat.
Crohn’s disease can’t be cured, but with treatment, it’s possible to manage the disease, greatly reduce its symptoms, or even reach long-term remission.
How can I tell if I have Crohn’s disease?
Symptoms can appear gradually over time or appear suddenly, and they can range in severity, but most people with Crohn’s disease experience:
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Abdominal pain
- Cramping
- Bloody stool
- Mouth sores
- Weight loss and loss of appetite
- Pain or drainage around the anus, or anal fistulas
In severe cases, Crohn’s can also cause inflammation in the skin, eyes, liver, and joints, and can delay growth and sexual development in adolescents.
You may notice your symptoms disappear for weeks or even months, but Crohn’s never goes away; it only goes into remission.
How can Adarna treat Crohn’s disease?
While there is no cure for Crohn’s disease, traditional treatment often includes medications such as immune system suppressors and anti-inflammatory drugs like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and control symptoms. These treatments can be effective, but they don’t work the same for everyone.
Additional supportive care options can help manage some of the most difficult symptoms of Crohn’s, including abdominal pain, digestive discomfort, and inflammation. A comprehensive approach may include dietary guidance, stress management, and personalized treatment strategies designed to improve day-to-day comfort and overall quality of life.
For some patients, ongoing care also focuses on reducing flare-ups and supporting long-term digestive health through a combination of medical and lifestyle-based approaches.
