Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy
Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease are two
conditions that bring about inflammation of the intestines. They are
closely related and together, they are frequently called as
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These two chronic conditions can
both last up to years and decades. They affect both women and men.
It usually starts during adolescence or early adulthood. To date,
it is approximated that there are 500,00 to 2 million people that
are affected by these chronic conditions in the United States alone.
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis are found
worldwide but are mostly common in the United States, England, and
Northern Europe. It is even more common to people who are of Jewish
descent. Ulcerative Colitis though is rare in Asia, Eastern Europe,
and South America. It is also rare in the African-American and
African populations. So what are these conditions about? Here are
more details about these two conditions..
Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammation of the
colon or large intestine. The colon is that part of our bodies where
waste material is stored. The symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis are
rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Like Crohn's disease,
the causes of these two conditions are still unknown. There is also
no convincing evidence that these two conditions are caused by
infections nor are they contagious.
Crohn's disease meanwhile is a chronic inflammatory
disease that affects the intestines. The disease primarily causes
ulcerations of the small and large intestines but it can also affect
the digestive system anywhere from the anus to the mouth. The
disease has been first described in 1932 and is named after the
physician who first described it. Crohn's disease is also called
granulomatous enteritis or colitis, ileitis, regional enteritis and
terminal ileitis.
Crohn's disease is also one of the illnesses together
with ADD/ADHD, insomnia, Alzheimer's disease and head injuries that
can be treated with Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen
therapy is a treatment that uses pure 100% oxygen for its treatment.
Its sessions only lasts for less than an hour and involves having
patients sleep or sit down inside an airtight hyperbaric chamber
breathing in that 100% pure oxygen. What is also nice about the
treatment is that hyperbaric chamber can be done at home or an
office. This is so because hyperbaric chambers are available for
sale and for rent. With such advantage, patients don't need to
travel to the hospital or health centers. Patients can have it at
home.
