    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Crohn's disease (CD) can present with gynecologic symptoms preceding bowel inflammation.
    • CD diagnosis is often delayed, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgeries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the gynecologic and obstetric manifestations of Crohn's disease in women.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and improve early recognition of CD.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of medical records of 103 women with Crohn's disease.
    • Review of presenting symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and pregnancy outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Subfertility and increased spontaneous abortions observed in women with CD.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Gynecologic issues (abscesses, fistulas, infections) preceded bowel symptoms in some cases.
  • 23 patients diagnosed with CD only after laparotomy; 27 appendectomies performed without acute appendicitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gynecologic symptoms can be early indicators of Crohn's disease.
    • Understanding these manifestations is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and surgical delays.
    • Early recognition of CD's gynecologic aspects improves patient management.
