When should I call or go to the doctor
At some point, during the course of our intestinal disease we can encounter the question of visiting the hospital emergency, call our doctor or do nothing and minimize our bad physical sensations believe that it is not as serious as we can this affect against us.
It would call or rather visit a physician immediately if with Crohn’s disease have one or more of the following symptoms:
Fever or chills
Dizziness, fainting, or rapid heartbeat
Stools that are almost always with remains of blood
Dehydration is severe
Significant abdominal pain or inflammation accompanied by severe pain
Pus in the area around the anus or pain and swelling in the anal area (Perianal Crohn’s)
Repeated vomiting
If you have any of these symptoms with EC, the State of the patient can get significantly worse. Some of these symptoms can be signs of toxic megacolon, a rare complication of Crohn’s disease requiring emergency treatment. This complication without immediate treatment can cause points of leakage or rupture, which can be fatal and can cause serious injury or even death.
Those that we are suffering from Crohn’s disease after a few years of ‘coexistence’ identify the normal patterns of symptoms in our body. If there is a change in our daily symptoms and worsen significantly not being as usual or is accompanied by persistent diarrhea for longer than 2 weeks (or not) of a weight loss (this symptom of itself also)It is advisable to consult with the medical specialist without much delay.
This leads to the majority to keep a watchful waiting. Our expectant (we could call it) tends to be during the period of time in which the patient and his doctor observed the evolution of the symptoms without need for change in medical treatment while in active period of the disease. Therefore, the expectant is not appropriate when you have any of the above symptoms and do not communicate you the doctor. If we ignore the symptoms we are delaying diagnosis and treatment, and can worsen the disease increase the risk of complications.
Even when the disease is not active (remission), your doctor will want to (or must) see us regularly to see if there are complications, some of which may be difficult to detect.
If no prognosis has been but you have serious suspicions of to EC, health professionals can diagnose Crohn’s disease. A family physician can divert us to an internist physician to ensure that we carry out the relevant tests.
On the other hand, if we have been diagnosticados, to help us manage Crohn’s disease, shall be allocated US gastroenterologist and in case you have to be evaluated for surgery, can be referred to a Surgeon General (and can be – or not – specialized in inflammatory bowel disease) or to a colorectal surgeon.
