Will routine blood tests be normal for Crohn's disease?
If you have Crohn's disease, conducting a routine blood test can be helpful for an auxiliary diagnosis. If the routine blood test for someone with Crohn's disease shows an increase in white blood cells, it may be indicative of a bacterial infection. Crohn's disease can lead to persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and inadequate absorption of nutrients. It may also result in anemia, low red blood cell count, and low hemoglobin levels. Diagnosis can be confirmed by considering the individual's clinical symptoms in conjunction with stool routine tests and colonoscopy examinations.
How many days to rest for acute gastroenteritis?
Patients with acute gastroenteritis experience rapid onset of symptoms but can recover quickly with proper and standard treatment after diagnosis. Acute gastroenteritis generally involves simultaneous infection of the intestinal and gastric mucosa by bacteria or viruses. With appropriate treatment, using anti-inflammatory medications or probiotics, the disease can be rapidly resolved without any problems, typically healing within two to three days. Therefore, when suffering from acute gastroenteritis, it is important to rest, preferably by staying in bed without engaging in strenuous activities to avoid exacerbating the condition. Usually, taking two to three days off from work is completely sufficient.
Can Crohn's disease be inherited by the next generation?
The causes of Crohn's disease are not yet fully understood, but it is currently believed to be caused by the interaction of many factors, including environmental factors, genetic factors, infections, gut microbiota, and immune factors. The incidence of Crohn's disease in first-degree relatives of patients is significantly higher than in the general population. Therefore, it is considered that Crohn's disease is both a polygenic disease and a genetically heterogeneous disease. Individuals with genetic susceptibility may develop the disease under certain environmental influences. Thus, it appears that Crohn's disease has a certain genetic predisposition and can be inherited by the next generation. The typical symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Generally, the course of the disease progresses slowly, often presenting a chronic active phase alternating with remission, tends to be incurable, and has a lifelong tendency to recur. Currently, there is a lack of effective curative treatments for Crohn's disease. The primary approach is drug treatment to control the activity of the disease, maintain disease remission, prevent complications, and avoid intestinal damage.
What items are rechecked in the early stages of cirrhosis?
In the early stages of cirrhosis, it is essential to first re-examine liver function, including transaminases, albumin, total protein, and bilirubin. This is very important. Additionally, it is necessary to recheck the complete blood count to monitor the number of white blood cells and platelets. Another important assessment is a liver ultrasound to observe whether the liver surface is smooth, the width of the portal vein, the presence of portal hypertension, and whether the spleen is enlarged. Furthermore, a re-examination of coagulation function to check for any changes is crucial. In the early stages of liver disease, these are the primary examinations that should suffice. Based on the results, the severity of the condition should be determined. When necessary, in cases of viral-induced cirrhosis such as hepatitis B or C, aggressive antiviral symptomatic treatment should be administered.
Can I eat eggs with colitis?
If you have colitis, you should pay attention to how eggs are prepared. You can eat steamed egg custard or boiled eggs, but avoid scrambled eggs, as they are too greasy and not easy to digest and absorb, which can increase the burden on the intestines and exacerbate the symptoms of colitis. If you suffer from colitis, you should avoid frequently consuming spicy, irritating, or overly greasy foods. Opt for a bland diet to prevent the condition from worsening. When the condition is severe, timely medication treatment is necessary, including mesalazine and Kangfuxin solution. Using Kangfuxin solution for enema can protect the intestinal mucosa and the medication works directly on the affected area, which is very effective. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor)
Treatment of occasional fever in Crohn's disease
If Crohn's disease presents with fever, it is generally considered possible that it is caused by a bacterial infection. The first step should be to check a stool routine to see if there is a bacterial infection, and symptomatic treatment measures need to be taken. If the body temperature is not particularly high, some antibiotics can be taken to control the progression of the disease. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, an appropriate amount of antipyretics can be used to control the condition and have a fever-reducing effect. During this period, drink more warm water, avoid spicy and stimulating food, as well as raw and cold fruits, to prevent aggravating the condition.
What to do if bile reflux gastritis keeps recurring?
Bile reflux gastritis recurs, and an ultrasound examination is needed to determine the cause. If it is caused by conditions such as blockage of the common bile duct or bile duct stones, surgery can be considered when the condition is particularly severe. If it is caused by relaxation of the pyloric sphincter, surgery can also be considered for treatment. Generally, conservative treatment is recommended. If conservative treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs or even worsens, surgery can be considered at that time to improve symptoms.
Why is it difficult to pass gas with proctitis?
When the condition of proctitis is severe, it will manifest as local congestion and swelling of the anus, causing a noticeable sensation of prolapse which affects gas and stool passage. It is important for those with proctitis to pay attention to a bland diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, onions, raw scallions, raw ginger, and raw garlic, as these can exacerbate the condition. Normally, it is important to ensure smooth bowel movements, consume more green vegetables and fruits with roughage, and exercise more to promote gastrointestinal motility, alleviate constipation, and relieve dry stools. If the proctitis is severe, mesalazine suppositories can be used for administering medicine inside the anus, and Recuperation New Liquid can be used for enema to protect the intestinal mucosa. It is also important to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, and warm water or potassium permanganate sitz baths can be utilized. (Please follow medical advice regarding medication use.)
How to deal with vomiting caused by gastric polyps?
If you have a gastric polyp and experience nausea and vomiting, symptomatic treatment can be used, including medications that aid digestion and regulate the stomach and spleen. Also, medications to control the symptoms of vomiting can be taken orally. In severe cases, it may also be necessary to go to a hospital for an antiemetic injection. It is essential to undergo a gastroscopy to determine the size of the polyp and to perform a pathological biopsy to check for malignant changes. Additionally, it is important to remove the polyp promptly, as long-term presence of the polyp in the body can easily lead to malignant transformation.
How long does it take to get an IV for acute gastroenteritis?
Acute gastroenteritis, as understood literally, occurs quite suddenly and rapidly. Therefore, its treatment is not very complicated. Typically, it can be cured in a short term. If it is a bacterial infection, you might choose Levofloxacin, which is quite effective in reducing intestinal inflammation. Generally, about three days of intravenous infusion can cure it. After stopping the infusion, you can take some probiotics orally and adjust the intestinal microenvironment, which can make recovery more thorough. So, if you suffer from acute gastroenteritis, there's no need to panic. As long as you maintain good dietary hygiene, you can recover quickly.
