Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the digestive tract, particularly the ileum and colon. It can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. The exact cause of Crohn's is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
Diagnosis typically involves medical history, physical examinations, and tests like endoscopy or imaging studies. While there is no cure, treatment options include medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, as well as lifestyle changes to improve quality of life for those affected by the disease.
