CROHN'S DISEASE

Crohn’s Disease Treatment in Jabalpur

Crohn’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that belongs to a group of diseases known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). It can affect any part of the digestive system from mouth to anus, but most commonly impacts the small intestine and the beginning of the colon.

Crohn’s can be painful, debilitating, and sometimes lead to life-threatening complications if not managed effectively. While there is no permanent cure, timely diagnosis and tailored medical or surgical interventions can significantly improve quality of life.

Dr. K.K. Verma, one of the most experienced gastrointestinal surgeons in Jabalpur, provides comprehensive care for Crohn’s Disease through advanced diagnostics, medication management, nutritional therapy, and minimally invasive surgery if required.

How Do I Help Patients Diagnose Crohn’s Disease?

Diagnosis is made using a combination of symptom analysis, imaging, endoscopy, and lab tests to rule out other conditions and assess disease severity.

Blood Tests

Check for markers of inflammation (CRP, ESR), anemia, or infection.

Stool Tests

Used to detect intestinal inflammation, infection, or bleeding.

Colonoscopy with Biopsy

A camera is passed into the colon and terminal ileum to visually assess inflammation, ulcers, or strictures. Tissue samples are taken for confirmation.

CT/MRI Enterography

Special imaging techniques used to view the small intestine and detect inflammation, abscesses, or fistulas.

Capsule Endoscopy

A swallowed capsule camera captures images throughout the small intestine — ideal for hard-to-reach areas.

Genetic Testing

Sometimes advised for suspected familial or early-onset Crohn’s to guide long-term planning.

Surgical Options for Crohn’s Disease

Surgery is not a cure for Crohn’s but may be required to treat complications or non-responsive disease.

Bowel Resection

Removing a diseased portion of the small or large intestine when strictures or severe inflammation occur.

Strictureplasty

Widening of narrowed bowel segments without removing any part of the intestine.

Abscess Drainage / Fistula Repair

Drainage of infected areas or repair of abnormal connections between organs.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches minimize hospital stay, reduce pain, and enhance recovery.

Post-Treatment and Long-Term Care

Crohn’s is a lifelong condition that needs close monitoring and proactive management even during remission.

Regular Monitoring

Follow-ups with imaging, colonoscopy, or blood tests to detect relapse early.

Nutritional Support

Customized meal plans to manage malabsorption, support immunity, and prevent flare-ups.

Stress and Lifestyle Management
