Hello,
Quick question. My 17 year old son was diagnosed with Crohn’s about 8 months ago so we’re still figuring things out. He used to have blood just dripping into the toilet. That’s gotten much better. Now he said he really only notices the blood when he wipes (so it’s only on the toilet paper now) and it burns just a tad. Of course, we’ll bring it up to our doctor and keep an eye on it, but any idea why or what would cause the bleeding to be reduced only to wiping with a slight stinging/burning sensation? It doesn’t bother him that much. He just said it just stings a tad. Could it be a little tear or hemorrhoid? Right now, he’s on Stelara. Got his first infusion a couple weeks ago.
