Whois & Analysis for crohnsandcolitis.com

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus.

Signs and symptoms often include abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if inflammation is severe), fever, and weight loss.

Other complications may occur outside the gastrointestinal tract and include anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, and feeling tired.

The skin rashes may be due to infections as well as pyoderma gangrenosum or erythema nodosum.

Bowel obstruction also commonly occurs and those with the disease are at greater risk of bowel cancer.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term condition that results in inflammation and ulcers of the colon and rectum.

The primary symptom of active disease is abdominal pain and diarrhea mixed with blood.

Weight loss, fever, and anemia may also occur.

Often symptoms come on slowly and can range from mild to severe.

Symptoms typically occur intermittently with periods of no symptoms between flares.

Complications may include megacolon, inflammation of the eye, joints, or liver, and colon cancer.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the principal types of inflammatory bowel disease.

It is important to note that not only does Crohn's disease affect the small intestine and large intestine, it can also affect the mouth, esophagus, stomach and the anus whereas ulcerative colitis primarily affects the colon and the rectum.

Therapy (often abbreviated tx, Tx, or Tx) is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a diagnosis.

In the medical field, it is usually synonymous with treatment (also abbreviated tx or Tx).

Among psychologists and other mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and clinical social workers, the term may refer specifically to psychotherapy (sometimes dubbed 'talking therapy').

The English word therapy comes via Latin therapīa from and literally means "curing" or "healing".

A symptom (from Greek σύμπτωμα, "accident, misfortune, that which befalls", from συμπίπτω, "I befall", from συν- "together, with" and πίπτω, "I fall") is a departure from normal function or feeling which is noticed by a patient, reflecting the presence of an unusual state, or of a disease.

A symptom is subjective, observed by the patient, and cannot be measured directly, whereas a sign is objectively observable by others.

For example, paresthesia is a symptom (only the person experiencing it can directly observe their own tingling feeling), whereas erythema is a sign (anyone can confirm that the skin is redder than usual).

Symptoms and signs are often nonspecific, but often combinations of them are at least suggestive of certain diagnoses, helping to narrow down what may be wrong.

In other cases they are specific even to the point of being pathognomonic.
