Have chrons disease with large bowel inflamation. what is next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication: Usually medications are the first treatment for crohn's disease. A gastroenterologist will help you. Surgery is seldom used unless there is a lack of response to medications, intestinal blockage, intestinal bleeding, or intestinal fistulas. Medications may include steroids or prednisone, and others.
