I've had Crohn's disease for two years and now I'm dealing with vomiting and frequent bowel movements. Doctors say there are obstructions and I might need surgery. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery really necessary?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In Crohn's disease, vomiting, and frequent bowel movements, along with obstructions, can indicate a need for surgery, especially if medical treatment doesn't provide relief. While medications like anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and biologics can help manage inflammation and symptoms, they might not fully resolve severe obstructions or complications like strictures or fistulas. Surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue, relieve blockages, or address complications like abscesses or perforations.

View allI'm really concerned about my father-in-law, Mr. Sukesh Das, who's 61. He's been diagnosed with erosive antral gastritis after his recent endoscopy. The local doctor has prescribed some medicine for 14 days, but we're still unsure about the situation and would love a second opinion. What exactly is erosive antral gastritis, and is it something we should be really worried about?

I'm experiencing quite a bit of pain when I pass stool and even when I'm sitting. It feels like it might be related to piles or possibly a fissure. On top of that, I have a lot of issues with gas. Could all these symptoms be connected, and what should I do to feel better?
It must be A Fissure. You can try conservative treatment for some time. If not relieved, surgery will be required. See that you do not have constipation. Stools should be soft. You can take Cremaffin Pink at night after dinner for that. Before passing stools & after that apply Anovate ointment around the fissure.
