Patient's question:
How to self-heal Crohn's disease from a TCM perspective, what good methods or herbal formulas can be used for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease with an unclear cause. It can occur at any part of the entire gastrointestinal tract, but is most common in the terminal ileum and the right half of the colon. The main symptoms of this condition include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and intestinal obstruction, along with systemic manifestations such as fever and nutritional deficiencies. Further diagnosis is necessary at the hospital through a colonoscopy. In later stages, treatment may require corticosteroids and dietary restrictions. Surgical treatment is generally not very effective. Crohn's disease can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care training, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding trigger foods. It is hoped that Crohn's disease patients can receive professional treatment.
