What Is Crohn’s Disease?

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the digestive tract. It can involve any part of the gastrointestinal system, from the mouth to the colon, and often causes inflammation that extends deep into the intestinal lining.

Because Crohn’s disease is a long-term condition, early diagnosis and appropriate management are important for maintaining digestive health.

Recovery is typically straightforward. 👏🏼

Here’s what patients can expect:

✔ You’ll rest in recovery while sedation wears off.
✔ Mild bloating or gas is normal.
✔ You’ll need someone to drive you home.
✔ Most people resume normal activities the next day.

If biopsies are taken or polyps are removed, results are reviewed and follow-up instructions are provided.

Colonoscopy is not only a diagnostic tool — it can also prevent colore**al cancer through early detection and removal of polyps.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before a colonoscopy — especially if it’s your first one.

Here’s what typically happens:

✔ You’ll receive clear instructions for bowel prep ahead of time.
✔ The day before the procedure involves a temporary liquid diet and prescribed prep solution.
✔ On procedure day, you’ll receive sedation so you remain comfortable and relaxed.
✔ The procedure itself is usually brief.

Most patients report that the anticipation is often more stressful than the procedure itself.

Colore**al Cancer Rates Are Rising in Adults Under 65

Recent data from the American Cancer Society show that nearly 45% of new colore**al cancer diagnoses now occur in adults younger than 65, up significantly from past decades.

While rates are declining in adults over 65, diagnoses among younger adults continue to increase. Re**al cancer specifically now accounts for nearly one-third of colore**al cancer cases.

Awareness and appropriate screening remain key components of prevention and early detection.
