When it comes to Inflammatory Bowel Disorder (IBD), most people are aware of ulcerative colitis. This is a disease in which damage occurs in the colon due to inflammation of the tissues. However, chrones is a common disease that is often misdiagnosed as ulcerative colitis, as it shares many of the same symptoms.
Basically chrones and ulcerative colitis are very similar diseases. Both are forms of IBD in which the immune system reacts excessively and causes excessive tissue inflammation. Ulcerative colitis, however, is only found in the colon. On the other hand, chrones can be anywhere in the digestive tract. However, it is usually found at the beginning of the large intestine and at the end of the small intestine.
With chrones, when the intestinal wall becomes inflamed and swollen, it is easily damaged by waste as it travels through the system. This damage sometimes causes scarring, which gradually narrows the passages beyond the initial inflammation. The main problem with chrones is this domino reaction - inflammation occurs, damage is done, horrible tissue is formed, a lot of damage is done, a lot of terrible tissue is formed, and so on. The end result is usually blocked by corridors where no trash can pass. When a ban occurs, the threat of fragmentation is a major problem for chrones sufferers. For this reason, if the blockage is not resolved immediately, surgery is often used to remove the damaged area and the blockage.
On the other hand, there is still a threat even before any scars develop. In the event of damage to the intestinal wall, ulcers and / or fistulas may form. An ulcer is a type of wound in a muscle that can be easily infected. A fistula, on the other hand, is a malignant tumor that penetrates the surrounding tissue, such as a woman's genitals or bladder. If an infection occurs, it can be fatal if not treated properly. Meanwhile, feces may pass through a fistula that only covers the problem.
Patients with chrones are not always sick. They often have episodes of inflammation followed by periods of calm when their system is working properly, or at least with a damaged system. However, this roller coaster often makes it difficult for a person with chrones to work and cope with daily life, as distraction is always a possibility.
