Many of us suffer bleeding while attending nature's call. Some times it is painfully and sometimes not. This bleeding may be accompanied by nausea, anorexia, recurrent oral sores. It can be IBD( Inflammatory bowel disease), generally, it is known as chron's disease.  Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can affect different parts of the GI tract in deferent people. This can affect a deep tissue layer, it can be painful, debilitating and sometimes life-threatening.

WHAT ONE WILL FACE IF THEY HAVE CHRON'S DISEASE?

Symptoms can be mild or severe.They usually grow gradually, in some cases suddenly. one may have no signs of illness.

Information on joint, eyes, live, bile ducts.

WHAT CAUSES CHRON'S DISEASE?

Dietary habits, stress, immunity, malnutrition can play a vital role in causing chron's disease.

Let's have look on some of the causative risk factors:

Age: Mostly this disease is diagnosed before the age of 30.

Family history. : You will be at risk you have a history of this disease in your family.

Cigarette smoking: Smoking leads to a severe form of this disease. It may lead to surgery.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: overuse of painkillers cause erosion of the superficial layer of the GI tract thus cause IBD.

Diet: Refined food and food rich in fat are not suitable for the GI tract.

 HOW IBD GET WORSEN?

It may worsen and results in intestinal obstruction, fistula with skin, among loops of the small intestine, bladder.

May cause infection of GI tract, recurrent diarrhea, severe malnutrition.

How IBD diagnosed?

• Sign and symptoms to rule out any other possible disease.
• Blood tests: Blood tests to check anemia due to GI bleeding and infection by bacterial growth.
• Stool for occult blood: to see the blood in the stool.
• Colonoscopy: Colonoscope is used to see the inside of the entire colon and distal-most part of the small intestine. Colonoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light attached to it. A biopsy can also be taken with it.
• Computerized tomography (CT). You may have a CT scan to know inside and outside the matter of bowel.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).: MRI usually used to evaluate the condition of fistula, it's occurrence site.
• Capsule endoscopy: you will ask to swallow a capsule containing the camera in it, it will travel through GI taking pictures and displaying it on a monitor. Camera exit out with stool painlessly.
• Balloon-assisted enteroscopy.: Used to see more of the small intestine where colonoscope doesn't reach.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT FOR IBD?

The main aim of medical management is to decrease the inflammation that increases your signs and symptoms. Medicines may limit complications.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS: It is the first step in medical management. It includes Corticosteroids: generally known as steroids. It used to reduce inflammation in the bowel. For short term use. Immune suppressor, antibiotics combination of medicines are used.

OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION:  These are to ease the symptoms. Some are

 Anti-diarrheals.

Pain relievers: you may be recommended acetaminophen but not  NSAIDs.

Iron supplements.

Vitamin B-12 shots, calcium, D3 supplements: Crohn's disease can result in vitamin B-12, calcium, and Vit D3 deficiency.

Nutrition therapy: To curb malnutrition.

SURGICAL INTERVENTION:

If the above-mentioned management doesn't ease your signs and symptoms, your doctor may advise for surgery. Generally, half the case of Crohn's disease needs at least one surgery.

 Types of surgery for Crohn’s disease: surgery depends on the site of disease.

• a bowel resection involves resection of a portion of the small intestine.
• a colectomy: removing large intestine( colon)
• a proctocolectomy: removing colon and rectum. May create an ostomy( hole)
• a strictureplasty: structure removal and widening of the intestine.

Most of these procedures are performed by minimally invasive technique or 30-degree laproscope. Usually while using instruments in a very small area they overlap it. To decrease the visual illusion by 0-degree laparoscopy instead a 30-degree laparoscope are being used.

This enables the movement of the digital camera head away from the units externally and vertical overlapping of hand as well. Movement of the laparoscope away from the instrument shafts occurs naturally because the angled lens is used to obtain a view of the surgical field and improves the two-dimensional angle achieved by a 30-degree laparoscope.
