The recommended treatments for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis vary depending on the involvement of each patient. Although new drugs are emerging, the protocol to follow is very stipulated. The patient tends to have a maintenance treatment, except in cases in which it is not necessary, which usually consist in the taking of immunosuppressants and/or biological treatments. This treatment aims to maintain the patient in remission and control symptoms. Periods of outbreaks are usually controlled with high-dose corticosteroids. In most acute cases, it is necessary to resort to surgery.
Current treatments are giving very good results, and although each person reacts differently to them, the majority of those affected manage to greatly improve your quality of life.
