Q. How do you distinguish between Crohn's disease and common diarrhea?

A.

Crohn's disease is accompanied not only by abdominal pain and diarrhea but also by systemic symptoms such as weight loss, anal diseases (e.g., anal fistula), and joint pain. A distinct characteristic is nocturnal diarrhea.

📝 Detailed Answer

일반 장염이나 과민성은 자는 동안에는 증상이 멈춥니다.

하지만 크론병 같은 염증성 질환은 밤낮을 가리지 않습니다. 또한 입안이 자주 헐고(구내염), 항문에 고름이 잡히는 치루가 동반된다면 단순 설사가 아닐 확률이 높으니 대학병원 검사가 필요합니다.
