Common Questions and Answers about Abscess formation crohn's disease
abscess
I have been suffering from intestinal disease since 10 years. At first it was diagnosed as ulcerative colitis but maybe it is a combination of uc and crohn's disease. My main question is that since 4 years I have anal fistulas 4 in number.
I have learned to cope with it but I am a little worried. My questions are
1: are fistulas more than 1 in number common???
2: what risk factors are connected with it.
Hi,
How are you? While there is no definite cure for chron's disease and the condition is marked by periods of improvement followed by flare-ups of symptoms, it is very important to stay on medications long-term to try to keep the disease symptoms from returning.
No specific diet has been shown to improve or worsen symptoms in Crohn's disease and specific food problems may vary from person to person.
Hi there,
The common sites for abscess formation are groin s and armpits. Abscesses are caused by minor breaks and punctures of the skin, obstruction of sweat glands and oil glands, and inflammation of hair follicles. These abscesses contain dead cells, bacteria, and other debris, which causes inflammation and pain. The common bacteria are staphylococci but sometimes tuberculosis can also lead to abscess formation.
The fistula is linked to alot of bad things .Most anal fistulas originate in anal crypts, which become infected with abscess formation. When the abscess is opened or ruptures, a fistula is formedcauses of anal fistulas include opened perianal or ischiorectal abscesses, which drain spontaneously through these fistulous tracts. Fistulas are also found in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn disease.[3] The incidence of fissures in Crohn disease is 30-50%.
Surgery is done when there is Mastoid osteitis, Intracranial extension, Abscess formation, Co-existing cholesteatoma and Limited improvement after IV antibiotics.

I've had Crohn's and/or colitis since 2004, but have been very well for the last couple of years. I have recently developed a sore spot between my perineum and buttock. At first I thought it was just a septic spot, but it flares up every few days and bleeds loads - if I wasn't already wearing incontinence pads (for another condition) I would need to wear a sanitary towel. Could this be a fistula?
is it possible to have crohn's disease while having none of the symptoms and being on no medications for almost 10 years.
), to see the extent of the tract and to see if there was any underlying infection or abscess left. (I had the abscess drained in FEb.09 and the open draining tract since, for about 4 months).
Since my Crohn's is of the anal variety, I appear to have the fistulizing form of the disease. He said after it is determined wether I have an infection- (if not) they would proceed treating the fistula with the iv bio drug, Remicade.
For several years now I have been suffering from abdominal pain on my right side as well as acid reflux, nauseau, vomitting, constipation and diarhea. Since 2001 I have had several surgeries to try and fix the problem. They include: having my gall bladder removed, two surgeries for endometriosis, a total hysterectomy and my appendix removed. The doctors that I see have done several tests including a pill cam, several ct's, xrays and blood work.
Patients with concurrent immunosupressive co-morbidities (diabetes, cancer, chronic steroid therapy) are at higher risk for these types of complications. With your husband having abscess formation, bacteremia, and now what sounds like a sternal wound infection, I would have an infectious disease specialist involved who might recommend a long-course of antibiotics. Your previous surgeon should also be involved given there could be potential surgical needs.
I jogged before my disease and during my disease. When my disease was worse, it was impossible to simply jog, even with a jogging bra, because the pain would have been torture. What I did during this time was pack my boob up in a jogging bra and hold a folded towel or article of clothing against the breast and actually support the breast with my hand during the entire jog. I couldn't jog in public like this, it would have looked too weird, so I jogged in my basement.
What are the symptoms for an Crohn's disease? Can it lead to any kinda complication like Arthritis? Anyone can explain it precisely?
Hello, I had uncontrolled Crohn's back in 2006, ended up perforating my ilieum in 2007. I was on Asacol, Entocort, and numerous other drugs. Since my bowel resection, my symptoms went away...just as quickly as they came on. I stayed on Azothiaprine for 2 years 2007 to Dec 2009 but have now stopped that too. I don't know if this helps but I eat off the Maker's Diet, which is basically just eating raw, unprocessed foods, organic. It tastes great and I feel better.
4 weeks ago I had what felt like an abscess in my rectum. After a few days I went to the toilet and passed out a bit of blood and what looked like an abscess. I went to the doctors the next day and he said that the bleeding looks like it's coming from further up and not near my anus. After that I had a day of passing small amounts of blood and after that bowel movements were normal, no blood just a bit of mucus.
