What is Crohn’s disease?
Why did you choose such a name? Originated in 1932, a doctor named Crohn published a series of scientific research on "Crohn’s disease", and named it Crohn, which caused great repercussions in academic circles. Since then, the disease has entered people’s field of vision.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the digestive tract and belongs to inflammatory bowel disease. Relevant data show that the incidence of this disease in China is also on the rise.
Ye Wei, director of the Department of Spleen and Stomach Diseases, Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhejiang Province, introducedThe disease is more common in young adults, and the prevalence rate of men and women is similar. Most of the lesions are located in the terminal ileum and ascending colon, and can also occur in any part of the whole digestive tract. It may lead to various complications, such as intestinal obstruction, abscess, even perforation and massive bleeding.
At present, there is no cure for Crohn’s disease. Once diagnosed, it means that patients need to be with the disease for life, so Crohn’s disease is also called "immortal cancer". But most patients can control their condition through treatment.
Crohn’s disease
Five major symptoms
Be alert to Crohn’s disease if the following manifestations occur.
Abdominal pain:
The most common symptoms are mostly located in the right lower abdomen or around the umbilicus, showing intermittent attacks. If there is persistent abdominal pain and obvious tenderness, it suggests that inflammation spreads to peritoneum or forms an abscess in abdominal cavity.
Diarrhea:
Feces are mostly mushy, but there may be bloody stools. When the lesion involves the lower colon, anus and rectum, there may be symptoms of mucus and bloody stool, urgency in the interior and then heaviness.
Abdominal mass:
In some patients, due to intestinal wall or mesentery thickening, intestinal adhesion, mesenteric lymph node enlargement, internal fistula or local abscess formation, the mass can be palpated in the right lower abdomen of the patient, which is relatively fixed and tender.
Systemic manifestations:
Fever, weight loss and nutritional disorders. Fever is related to intestinal inflammatory activity and secondary infection; Nutritional disorders are caused by chronic diarrhea, loss of appetite and chronic consumption.
Parenteral manifestations:
Oral mucosal ulcer, erythema nodosum, arthritis and eye diseases are more common.
Can Crohn’s disease be prevented?
It is understood that the cause of Crohn’s disease is still unknown, and it is thought that it may be related to infection, heredity and immunity.
Dr. Ye said that mental stimulation, dietary factors and unsanitary habits may all induce the aggravation of the disease. "It is best to quit smoking and drinking in life. Relevant data prove that smoking is one of the risk factors of Crohn’s disease, which will also worsen the patient’s condition and increase complications. Alcohol has a very strong stimulating effect on the intestine, which will aggravate the symptoms of Crohn’s disease and reduce the body’s immunity. "
In addition, regular daily life, fasting cold and unclean food, proper physical exercise, paying attention to mental recuperation, maintaining peace of mind and being happy have certain effects on the prevention of Crohn’s disease.
Pick on young people
Crohn’s disease prefers to find young people, especially white-collar youth. "From the clinical incidence data, the onset age of Crohn’s disease is relatively early, the average age of patients is 15-25 years old, and the prevalence rate of men and women is similar." Chen Ning, deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University People’s Hospital, said that from the historical origin, the incidence of this disease is different around the world, which is more common in western countries and regions with high developed level, and the first onset is more common in young people.
However, in the past 20 years, with the continuous improvement of economic development and living standards, a number of data show that the incidence of Crohn’s disease in China is rising rapidly, and the prevalence rate in rich areas, cities and white-collar workers is higher than that in poor, remote areas and manual workers. Among them, fast food, hamburgers and other westernized diets, smoking and unhealthy lifestyles are very obvious hazards to Crohn’s disease.
In addition to these factors, the onset of Crohn’s disease is also influenced by the interaction of many factors, such as heredity, environment, low gene and immune response, which makes it easy to relapse, with a long treatment cycle and relatively high treatment cost, which has a significant impact on patients’ life and economic situation, so it is also called "rich disease".
Can inflammatory bowel disease caused by Crohn’s disease be cured The current answer is: no! We can regard patients with Crohn’s disease as patients with chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and diabetes, and recognize that treatment is a long-term and even lifelong process.
