Both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis belong to a category of diseases called inflammatory bowel disease. This is a classification of diseases in which inflammation forms in a part of the digestive tract, called the gastrointestinal tract or digestive tract, of the patient. The immune system then treats this area of ​​inflammation as a foreign pathogen and attacks it. The causes of these two diseases are currently unknown to the medical world. Burrill B. Crohn first described the condition known as Crohn's disease in 1932. Crohn discovered the disease with the help of fellow scientists Dr. Leon Ginzburg and Dr. Gordon D. Oppenheimer. It was for Dr. Burrill B. Crohn that the disease was so named. There are many differences between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both have symptoms of varying severity, which vary greatly from person to person. In Crohn's disease, these symptoms and complications may include abdominal pain and cramping. Others include frequent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, a feeling of needing to have a bowel movement, and constipation. On the other hand, ulcerative colitis has a similar, but slightly different set of common symptoms. The most common of these symptoms is diarrhea. Other symptoms of ulcerative colitis include bloody stools, abdominal pain and a feeling of urgency. The most visible complication of ulcerative colitis is general discomfort and difficulty having a bowel movement. There are several forms of these two diseases. The type of each disease depends on where in the digestive tract the inflammation occurs. While a person may feel discomfort coming from the area of ​​the gastrointestinal tract close to the rectum, not from the middle of paper, which creates contrast, and when having a magnetic resonance imaging exam, Computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopic radiography. In addition to an endoscopy, a biopsy may be recommended. During a biopsy, a small piece of tissue is removed from an inflamed area. This piece of tissue is then examined pathologically to determine whether or not any disease is present. Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease is delicate. There is currently no cure for Crohn's disease (and technically no legitimate cure for ulcerative colitis). Additionally, there is no surefire way to treat the condition, as there is no single medication that works for everyone. Treatments for Crohn's disease also differ from those for ulcerative colitis. The goal of ulcerative colitis medications is to reduce inflammation in the colon, giving the tissue a window to heal..
