Crohn's disease

We are a leading medical center for the diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease as an autoimmune disease.

What is Crohn's disease?

Crohn's disease is an autoimmune pathology that affects the digestive system and involves any region of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus.

As with any autoimmune disease, an attack occurs from the patient's immune system to the intestinal mucosa, causing inflammation that causes abdominal pain.
This is an idiopathic disease, meaning it has an unknown cause, but with a very defined symptom: patients with Crohn's disease often go to the bathroom many times a day, a minimum of 3, and up to 10 in the acute phase.
The disease presents outbreaks of greater incidence, especially in spring and autumn.

Causes of Crohn's disease

In our biological medicine clinic, we begin by addressing a causal diagnosis. It is necessary to know why it affects the patient, their genetic load, and the degree of affectation and aggression of the immune system.

Once all of this is established, an assessment is carried out, leading to a treatment protocol.

All about Crohn's Disease

Symptoms of Crohn's disease:

Patients with Crohn's disease present inflammation and abdominal pain. They often go to the bathroom very frequently, between 3 and 10 times a day in the acute phase. The consistency of the stool is pasty or liquid (often accompanied by mycosis, intestinal candidiasis). In addition, intestinal obstruction, sores and ulcers in the affected area or surrounding tissues, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, arthritis may occur.

Other symptoms that may occur include intestinal obstruction; sores and ulcers in the affected area or surrounding tissues, such as the bladder; tunnels around the anus and rectum, called fistulas; nutritional deficiencies; anemia; arthritis; skin problems; kidney stones, gallstones, or other diseases of the liver and biliary system.

Treatment of Crohn's disease:

Depending on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment is prescribed. Our first objective is to reduce the number of bowel movements, eliminate pain, and compact the stool to normalize the alteration of the intestinal flora caused by the disease. We will have to replenish the flora and eliminate associated intestinal infections (which can be several: candidiasis, geoticum...).

It is also necessary to regulate the immune system, which is key to stopping the processes and, above all, preventing alterations from occurring in other regions of the body that lead to the maintenance of the autoimmune process.
