Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi doctor, my father inlaw has really bad lower abdomen pain after he eats, each time he eats. He has lost so much weight this past year, he used to be a big guy but now he is just skin and bone. He doesn t have much of an appetite and complains that his skin burns all the time and struggles when he goes to the toilet and sometimes his anus is paining. He doesn t have much energy either. He has gone for colonoscopy and ultrasounds but doctors say he is fine when he clearly is not fine. Please advise if this can be Crohn s disease or what? We are desperate.
It can be ulcerative colitis or Chron disease or other inflammatory bowel diseases. Go for CECT abdomen pelvis. Ultrasound is not good modality for diagnosing inflammatory bowel diseases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Shalu Mishra
