I've had frequent urination for years and now my doctor says I also have a fissure. Are there any non-surgical treatments or medications that could help with this? Really worried about needing surgery and want to explore other options first.

View allI've been experiencing this sharp, persistent pain on the right side of my rib cage for about a year now. I've seen a few doctors and they keep prescribing anti-inflammatory meds, but they just aren't doing the trick. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest any other treatment options?

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
