About Crohns Disease

Understanding Crohns Disease

Crohns disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Treatment options range from medication and dietary changes to surgery, aimed at reducing inflammation and managing symptoms.
