What are some of the side effects and complications of crohn’s disease? Also can complications of the disease lead to colon cancer? Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

I started having rectal pain a few days ago, starting after I worked out much harder than I usually do. (This was about 4 days ago). Today, the pain was gone, but then it started to bleed. It’s mostly bleeding then stopping then repeating. What’s wrong? What should I do? (I am using Preparation H).

I have severe rectal pain when defecating. The pain persists after defecating. The stool that comes out after too much pressure is very little and kind of soft. BUT there is no bleeding. I searched for Piles symptoms on internet, it has bleeding in it aswell? Is it necessary for Piles to bleed too?
WHAT IS IT … WHAT TREATMENT TO DO…

For the past three days, I’ve had a very intense amount of blood in my stool. It’s almost diarrhea-like, but still holding some shape, and it looks like there’s more blood than stool. Also, my stool has never been soft like this. There is no pain when I go to the bathroom, just a very large amount of blood. I’m a 14 year-old female, and no, I’m not on my period. I think I’m too young for rectal cancer, but could this be a warning sign? And if not, what could it be?

I have heard about so many herbs and vitamins out that will help with digestion but what is best? And is there an multi vitamin that is geared to digestion? Is Phillips colon health good?

The rectal bleeding has been going on for several months now. I do have hemorrhoids and have had on and off for 12 years since the birth of my son. Normally they’ll come out and then go back in after a few days and not return for a couple of months. They have STAYED out for months now (at least since October)! The past month and a half to two months I have also had blood clots from the rectum. I have always had strange bowel habits. I only use the restroom once every week or two and that is usually after taking a laxative. I do take fiber supplements (prescription) but nothing works. A few days ago when I used the restroom there was even a sort of bloody slime in the toilet. I am only 32 years old but my dad died from colon cancer at 54. My moms mom died from colon cancer at 65. My dads dad died from colon cancer in his 50′s and his mom has had colon cancer but is cancer free. I called the best gastrologist in our area yesterday and ask for an appt. and they said it would be March before I could be seen. She then asked my symptoms and I told her. Now I am concerned because after hearing my symptoms they worked me in to be seen on Monday. Is this something to be concerned about or is there less worrisome things that it could be? Also, isn’t 32 too young to have colon cancer? Sorry if this is long winded but I am really concerned. I’ve put off going for so many months because I’m scared.

For example, in the future do you think they will be able to replace a diseased colon that has ulcerative colitis with a new colon grown from the patient’s own extracted stem cells? I do know that they already replace bladders in this way. Also, if you believe this will be possible, when do you think it will happen?
yes, to answerer #2, I am talking about IBD like Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colotis. The question is assuming a cure in the future. One possibility is micobacteria avium paratuberculosis, otherwise known as MAP which has been linked from Johne’s disease in cows. It’s possible that some people with Crohn’s are susceptible to this infection which is prevalent in milk (even after pasteurization) and possibly in cow meat if it hasn’t been cooked well enough. The jury is still out but it’s being looked at closely and researched. Otherwise It could be a possibility for clients who have had their colons removed due to ulcerative colitis, and have been symptom free for awhile.

The right side of my stomach area hurts, like where my liver and ascending colon are, but it’s not like intense pain, it just feels sore. I feel like throwing up right now…and it doesnt help that im emotional now too because i miss my boyfriend who never makes time for me anymore…im tired of suffering emotionally, mentally and physically. What do i do? Nothing ever makes it better. All i do these days is hope to God that i have cancer because i just cant take anymore of this life…
this is a reason i put this in religion and spiritually, which is that a doctor can never heal what you feel inside. Deep inside. I went to a counsellor and all they do is tell you what they think you should to take away stress from your life and tell u to take anti-depressants. And no matter how much you speak, they dont hear a word you say. Why should you even speak? And no matter how much i cry and beg God, nothing ever changes…so i just want to know what i can do then?

hemorrhoids as they checked that yesterday in the ER. Her bf just called and she is crying in the background.

Any idea what this is?

They want to do a scope and give her anesthesia of twilight sleep….
A call is into her doctor…obviously….but I wanted to know if anyone else has had similar or the same symptoms and if it was in fact pregnancy related, ie round ligament syndrome vs. something else.

I was recently hospitalized for problems with my ovaries (that’s a whole other story), but as I was describing my symptoms to the doctor (shooting pain that started in my lower abdomen and traveled all the way to my rectum and even the tops of my inner thighs), she gave me a name for this symptom. It was a really long and weird word that started with the letter "M" I believe. It had nothing to do with my ovaries, it was just a symptom that some girls get with their periods. I can’t remember what it was called and it’s driving me crazy! Any ideas??
It’s not endometriosis…I had a laparoscopy done and there was only a tiny amount that they removed…it was a really silly word that the doctor described as a syndrome. Thanks anyways!

If it will cause colon dependency like other laxatives, it contains Psyllium Husk Powder, Senna, Fennel Seed, Peppermint, Papaya, Buckthorn Bark, Oregon Grape Root, Celery, Milk-Free Acidophilus.
I ask because on the bottle it says to not take it for more than a week just like any other laxative but the guy in the health food store told me i can take it for longer and it won’t cause dependency.
Has anyone ever taken this Super Colon Cleanse, if so, can you tell me what your reactions are to this, I bought the power form.

for the past month or so i’ve been getting weird pains in my mons pubis area. the pain sometimes spreads to my labias, but not around or in the vaginal opening. the pain feels like the muscle ripping, but it’s not that painful. it doesnt stop me from going by my normal day, i’m just worried lol! it only last for a few seconds, 10 seconds max, and happens around 2-5 timesa a day. some days its worse than others. i also get a sharp pain around my anus hole (lol) and my butt cheeks at the same time, although this is a sharp pain, different to the mons pubis pain. its hard to describe sorry…. if it was just pain, like ‘one of those things’ i wouldnt care, the pain doesnt really disturb me, i just worry incase its something bad!
the pain started beginning of december, and i didnt get the pain for just over a week, just after xmas i think, and its just come back in the past few days. the only thing that i changed is my diet, but other than that i didnt do anything different.
one more thing, when i first experienced this pain it was this situation:
i got the pain a couple of times, but it wasnt as often, and one day i randomly went to stand up, and i felt a really bad pain – like an electric shocl/muscle ripping kinda pain, which lasted for about a minute, then faded. this made me think it was a pulled muscle, but it hasnt got better.
i’m 16, virgin, and i suffer from ibs, so is this a symptom of ibs? please help guys xxxx

How can tissue engineering be used for diseases such as ulcerative colitis or colon cancer?
Any kind of applications of tissue engineering in these diseases would be great help.

I’ve been suffering from this for a few months now and it’s progressively only gotten worse. I was prescribed antibiotics for a possible bacterial infection as the cause but it proved ineffective. My physician told me that it’s very difficult to treat, and that the complete causes are somewhat of a mystery. I suffer lower back pain and sharp rectal pains, now I’m having trouble with bowel movements and erectile problems. I’m 22 years old and very frustrated. Could it be stress-related? I’m an extremely anxious person. Anybody with any insight at all would be greatly appreciated.

TRUE OR FALSE ?

Male 52 Yrs. old with pain in lower back and right shoulder and arm. Have had pain for 1 month and am taking lots of Tylenol. Even high doses of Sodium Naproxen that the Doctor prescribed would not kill the pain. The Tylenol works for a short time than wears off, but seems to work better than the Sodium Naproxen. Man was in hospital for emergency rectal abcess, and had to have two incisions made on rectum to drain the infection. Man received an antibiotic called Keflex, and 2 bags of very strong Antibiotic diluted in IV. Now man is bleeding from rectum and has a yeast infection on the scrotum. Man has no Health Insurance and does not know what to do. Man has become extremely depressed. Please Help him!!!

If the stomach or transverse colon were
to rupture, the contents would leak into the peritoneal cavity and
possibly contaminate the entire abdominal cavity.
Which organs would be affected by this peritonitis?
