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.

I've recently had some blood work done and found that my ALT and AST levels are off, even though everything else seems to be within the normal range. I don't have any stomach pain or anything unusual like that, so I'm a bit confused about what might be going on. Last month, I took Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg for five days, and about a year ago, I was on some medication for hair treatment that lasted around four months, though I can't remember the name of it. Could you help me understand what might be causing these abnormal numbers?
Based on your test results showing elevated ALT and AST levels, along with your history of recent medications such as Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg, it is possible that drug-induced liver injury may be a contributing factor. Additionally, the previous medication for hair treatment taken one year ago could also have played a role. To address the elevated liver enzymes, it is important to discontinue any potentially offending medications. In this case, Augmentin 625mg, Emanzen D, and Pan 40mg should be stopped. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring of your liver function.
