Crohn’s disease is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. It causes chronic inflammation, leading to symptoms like persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. If not treated promptly, Crohn’s disease may result in complications such as intestinal strictures, fistulas, and malnutrition.
In Mumbai, Dr. Harshad Joshi provides comprehensive care for Crohn’s disease, starting with accurate diagnosis through advanced endoscopic techniques and imaging. Double balloon enteroscopy helps assess small bowel involvement, while colonoscopy and biopsy confirm the extent of inflammation.
Treatment often includes immune-modulating drugs and biologics such as infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab. These therapies aim to control inflammation, reduce symptoms, and maintain remission. Alongside medication, nutritional therapy helps prevent deficiencies and support healing.
Crohn’s disease is a lifelong condition, but with early intervention and continuous management, patients can lead active, fulfilling lives.
