Introduction to the treatment of Crohn's disease

When Crohn's disease occurs, we must not ignore scientific treatment and try to reduce its impact on our health as much as possible. The common treatment method is the use of antibiotics. At the same time, we should also actively supplement nutrition. For patients, we should focus on eliminating tension and fear.

1. Antibiotics: Metronidazole is widely used in the anti-infection treatment of Crohn's disease, especially for colonic and perianal Crohn's disease. There are other antimicrobial treatment options, but there are insufficient and reliable data for any of them.

2. Nutritional support: Active nutritional supplementation is an important auxiliary treatment for Crohn's disease. There are reports that an elemental diet can have the same effect as prednisone (especially in small intestinal diseases). Severely ill patients with large-volume fistulas or obstructions who cannot be fed via the small intestine should receive total parenteral nutrition.

3. Psychological treatment: and education In recent years, many reports have emphasized the education and psychological treatment of patients to eliminate their tension and fear and improve their beliefs in health. This is very beneficial for the recovery of chronic diseases.

4. Diet: Eat food with little residue, non-irritating and rich in nutrition. Alcohol, tea, coffee, cold food and seasonings should not be consumed. Lactose restriction may be beneficial in some patients. Fasting is recommended in severe cases.

5. Symptomatic treatment: Those with electrolyte imbalance should correct it, and those with anemia should receive appropriate blood transfusions, etc.
