Crohns Disease Treatment
Managing a chronic condition like Crohn’s disease requires more than just medicine; it requires a dedicated partnership between you and your clinical team. At Aster Hospitals, we provide comprehensive care for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Our experienced and board-certified gastroenterologists combine international clinical protocols with a deeply personalised approach to help you achieve long-term remission and reclaim your quality of life.
Crohn’s disease is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation within the digestive tract. Unlike other conditions, this inflammation can skip sections of the bowel and penetrate deep into the intestinal layers. While it is a lifelong condition, modern medical advancements mean that most patients can lead active, fulfilling lives with the right management strategy.
An accurate Crohn’s disease diagnosis is the foundation of an effective recovery plan. Our diagnostic journey begins with a thorough clinical evaluation, followed by advanced laboratory and imaging techniques to map the extent of the inflammation.
We utilise high-precision blood and stool tests to check for markers of inflammation and infection. To visualise the intestinal lining, our specialists perform upper GI endoscopies and colonoscopies. For a more detailed view of the small bowel, we offer Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE), which provides high-resolution images without exposing patients to radiation.
There is no single treatment that works for everyone with Crohn's disease. At Aster Hospitals, we categorise care based on the severity of symptoms and the specific location of the disease.
For patients with milder symptoms, our focus is on maintaining comfort and preventing flares. We may prescribe Aminosalicylates or specific oral steroids like Budesonide to settle localised inflammation. Our clinical dieticians also work closely with you to implement dietary modifications that reduce gut irritation.
When symptoms are more persistent, we escalate to advanced therapies designed to reset the immune response:
Our Crohn’s disease treatment plans often include Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN), providing liquid diets that allow the bowel to rest and heal naturally.
In certain instances, medication alone may not be enough to manage complications. Crohn’s disease surgery becomes a vital option when a patient develops strictures (narrowing of the bowel), fistulas, or abscesses.
Living well with IBD involves consistent monitoring, and that is why our gastroenterology hospital in Dubai provides regular follow-up appointments, routine screening colonoscopies to monitor bowel health, and dedicated mental health support to help patients navigate the emotional challenges of chronic illness.
Aster Hospitals stands out as a premier gastroenterology provider in Dubai. We understand that navigating a chronic illness is exhausting, which is why we bring comprehensive diagnostics, advanced medical therapy, and complex surgical interventions under one roof, such as endoscopy, a biological therapy infusion, or a surgical consultation.
We offer our key facilities in Mankhool, Al Qusais, Jebel Ali, and Muhaisnah with diagnostics, medical therapy, and surgery under one roof. Our multidisciplinary team ensures that your care is coordinated, evidence-based, and accessible 24/7 for any emergency support you may need.
Our surgical team has experienced gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, specialist dietitians, pathologists, and radiologists, who specialise in minimally invasive techniques, including bowel resection, strictureplasty, and fistula repair. While surgery does not "cure" the underlying condition, it is a powerful tool for removing damaged tissue, preventing emergencies, and significantly improving daily comfort.
The "best" treatment is personalised. Most specialists consider biologic therapies the most effective for achieving deep mucosal healing in moderate to severe cases.
Diagnosis involves a combination of physical exams, stool markers (Calprotectin), colonoscopy with biopsies, and specialised imaging like MRE.
Surgery is usually required if there is a bowel blockage, a non-healing fistula, a perforation, or if the disease no longer responds to medical therapy.
There is currently no permanent cure, but modern treatments can lead to years of symptom-free remission. Regular follow-up and sticking to the prescribed treatment plan can help keep the disease under control and reduce the risk of flare-ups.
Genetics play a significant role here, but environmental factors and the immune system triggers are also significant contributors to Crohn’s disease.
Aster Hospitals offers a leading IBD programme with specialised gastroenterologists and full surgical capabilities across multiple convenient locations.
