your treatment is still effective. Be open and honest about any changes or concerns you may have.
What are signs that my treatment isn’t working?
If you experience persistent or worsening symptoms, new symptoms, frequent flare-ups, or complications such as strictures or fistulas, it may indicate that your current treatment is not effective. It’s crucial to discuss these changes with your healthcare provider to explore alternative treatment options.
Can conventional treatments like steroids be a long-term solution for managing my symptoms?
While steroids can be effective in managing symptoms in the short term, they are not typically recommended for long-term use due to their potential side effects. Your healthcare provider can help you explore other treatment options that may be more suitable for long-term management.
