I've had Crohn's disease since 2018 and my recent MRI and colonoscopy show my rectum has narrowed. I'm currently on mesalamine, azathioprine, and Shelcal livogen do you think I'll need surgery for this or can medication help reduce the risk of a rectum blockage?

If narrowing causes blockage risk or worsening symptoms, surgery may be needed—continue meds and monitor closely.

I've been dealing with black and bloody stools with mucus for about 10 days now, and it's really worrying me. I also get this dull pain in the middle of my stomach after meals and usually see the blood in my stool 2 to 3 hours after eating. I'm having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day with blood and mucus, and it's exhausting. Besides that, I feel really full, weak, and tired all the time, and even breathing seems a bit harder. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed me Enteroquinol and Revkzole, but it's been four days and there's no relief. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting a second opinion, or maybe ask for more tests?

I'm having an issue where every time I walk for about 5 to 10 minutes, my buttocks get wet and itchy, both on the inside and outside. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure why it's happening. One time, after I sprinted for 5 laps, my anus released a brown liquid and felt super itchy internally. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any idea what this could be or how I can find some relief?
