INFORMATION FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE CROHN'S DISEASE DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING
What is Crohn's disease?
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that is chronic (persistent for many years) and relapsing. It can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from mouth to anus, but usually, it affects the terminal ileum (the last part of the small intestine) and colon, and typically leaves the rectum intact. Symptoms, which may come and go, include diarrhea (sometimes with blood), nausea, and vomiting. Often the diarrhea comes at night and there is often melena (black stool, resulting from blood mixing into the feces).
Crohn's disease often affects women and often begins at a young age, with onset typically between ages 15-30, so it can coexist with pregnancy, in which case the pregnancy is considered complicated.
