A case report review examines the complications, diagnosis, and treatment of genital Crohn's disease, a rare extraintestinal manifestation with no standard management protocols[original content]. It is a rare complication of Crohn's disease, where the inflammation spreads outside the intestines, for example to the larynx or other areas[2]. A 23-year-old patient with Crohn's disease presented with watery diarrheal stools up to 10 times a day, weight loss of 6 kg in 2 months, spasmodic abdominal pain and subfebrile temperature of 37.9 °C[1]. In another case, a patient with Crohn's disease of the large intestine had a relapse in the peri-anal area in 2013, requiring surgical and antibiotic treatment, and later histologically confirmed involvement of the larynx[2]. Treatment included high-dose parenteral corticosteroids, which provided relief, with an ADA level of 8.2 μg/ml[2]. The article also mentions colon cancer detected in sewage and H. pylori treatment, but without details[original content]. Crohn's disease affects the entire digestive tract with skip lesions and can lead to anal ulceration or fistulas[3].
