Understanding the Types of Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease is a complex condition that can affect any part of the digestive system, from the mouth to the anus. Unlike ulcerative colitis, it presents in various forms depending on the affected area, each with distinct symptoms and severity. Being familiar with these variations is essential, as your doctor may diagnose your condition as one of the five main types of Crohn's Disease:
Ileocolitis
The most prevalent form, ileocolitis, impacts the ileum (the lower part of the small intestine) and the colon. Symptoms typically include pain or cramping in the lower right or central abdomen, diarrhea, and weight loss. Inflammation can damage the intestinal wall, leading to further complications.
Ileitis
This type affects only the ileum. Symptoms mirror those of ileocolitis, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, but may also involve ulcers or abscesses in the lower right abdomen. Excessive diarrhea often results in weight loss.
Gastroduodenal Crohn’s Disease
Affecting the stomach and the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine), this form leads to appetite loss, weight loss, nausea, and sometimes vomiting, which may indicate a bowel obstruction. This type can significantly impact nutritional intake, potentially leading to malnutrition.
Jejunoileitis
Characterized by inflammation in patches in the upper half of the small intestine, jejunoileitis causes abdominal pain, which can vary from mild to severe, usually following meals. Diarrhea is common, and fistulas may develop, possibly leading to further complications.
Crohn’s (Granulomatous) Colitis
This type is confined to the colon and can cause rectal bleeding, anal diseases like ulcers, abscesses, and fistulas. Symptoms may also include diarrhea, joint pain, and skin lesions, which can appear in other forms but are more prevalent here. Crohn’s col
