I'm dealing with a fissure and it's really uncomfortable. I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to fix it. Could you let me know if there are other options or if an operation is necessary?

My 64-year-old dad was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and I read it's an autoimmune condition. What are the treatment options for autoimmune diseases like this? Is Crohn's curable or will he have it for life? Does he need surgery or is it managed with medication? Also, is it similar to cancer? We're really stressed and confused about what to expect.
Crohn's disease is a lifelong, chronic condition, not curable, but manageable through medication and potentially surgery. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing complications, aiming for remission, not a cure. Medication is the primary treatment, but surgery may be necessary for complications like bowel obstructions or strictures. Crohn's is not similar to cancer, though complications like colon cancer may require monitoring

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.
