Crohn Disease treatment in Guadalupe

Crohn disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect any part of the digestive tract, most often the intestine. It runs in phases: there are periods of greater activity and others of calm.

Common symptoms:

• Abdominal pain and persistent diarrhea
• Tiredness and weight loss
• Sometimes bleeding or discomfort outside the intestine

When should you see a doctor? In the case of prolonged diarrhea, recurrent abdominal pain, or weight loss with no clear cause, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? Follow-up of Crohn disease is handled by the gastroenterologist, in coordination with the colorectal surgeon or the surgeon when needed. Having a trusted specialist makes it easier to manage this disease over time.
