Hi, I’m looking for some help to make a decision about a surgery.
I’m 22. I have Crohn’s disease for almost 2,5 years. I sometimes had abdominal pain and a little bit looser stool (but once a day). I had a colonoscopy and doctors gave me mesalazine, after one year they added azathioprine and now adalimumab. But in MRI I had in March doctors found some narrowing in terminal ileum and in ileocecal valve. For 3 weeks I sometimes feel some bigger mass in the right abdomen, but in 1 day that feeling goes away. One week ago I had an ultrasonography - doctor found narrowing and a little bit wider intestine before the narrowing. My doctor suggest me to do a resection about 20 cm of ileum and a valve. Do you think it’s a good idea? Now I feel very good, no pain or discomfort in abdomen. I’m afraid that after a surgery I’ll have diarrhea because of a resection and of more frequent intestinal infection. I’m studing and it’s important to me to be able to continue my studies Please, help me
