Shannen’s Crohn’s disease
Shannen Doherty has been suffering from Crohn’s disease since childhood. She disclosed about her this illness in 1999 to Star Magazine. She said that she did not reveal it earlier since ‘it was not sexy’.
In Crohn’s disease, a person gets abdominal pain and cramps, loose motions, blood in stools, weight loss and loss of appetite. It is due to a malfunctioning body immune system.
The body immune cells consider the body cells as foreign and start attacking it, leading to swelling or ‘inflammation’.
Specific tests and imaging techniques are required to pick up this disease. It is a lifelong disease with no cure but only medicines to minimize the complaints.
Certain drugs and dietetic changes could help alleviate the symptoms. Surgery is rarely needed if medical measures fail to control the disease.
