Does Crohn's disease require medication for life?
Crohn's disease has a treatment course and is not lifelong medication.
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most common types of inflammatory bowel disease, and the incidence is increasing in our country. It is mainly due to various external inducements causing an imbalance in the body's immunity, leading our immune system to attack our own normal tissues. In Crohn's disease, it mainly attacks the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Crohn's disease can occur from the mouth to the anus, but the small intestine is the primary site.
This disease can be quickly controlled with medication, but it will relapse after discontinuing the medication because the real cause of this disease is endogenous, an internal immune imbalance, so this disease is incurable. However, the medication has its treatment course and is not for lifelong; however, there is always a possibility of relapse throughout life.
