| + | |||
| + | A lot of research still needs to be done in order to better understand Crohn’s Disease. Genetic factors are linked with Crohn’s disease and increases the risk of diagnosis. The risk is much greater in individuals of similar familial background than those who are unrelated. Measles viral infections are also a confirmed risk factor of Crohn’s disease. Knowledge of risk may result in better preparation before diagnosis and more applicable treatments following diagnosis. Genetically susceptible individuals may engage in necessary measures to avoid triggering the disease symptoms while others may take precautions by receiving appropriate immunizations. | ||

| + | Awareness of certain factors that exacerbate Crohn’s is valuable for disease treatment and management. Avoiding habits which jeopardize optimal health in Crohn’s patients, such as cigarette smoking and use of contraceptives, may lead to fewer flares and discomfort experienced by these individuals. Crohn’s patients may also seek alternative methods to satisfy these habitual needs. | ||

| + | Treatment depends on the severity of each case, but medication is available for a large proportion of patients. Prednisone and infliximab/ remicade are both examples of effective pharmaceuticals prescribed to manage existing cases of Crohn’s. Current research suggest that there may be specific microbiota associated with Crohn’s disease. Recent findings on microbial communities is promising and may be pivotal point in Crohn’s disease history and treatment discovery, development, and approach. | ||
