Hi I was diagnosed in 2011 with crohns had crohnic diarrhoea cramps and Hugh weight loss was on prednisolon and humira. Fell pregnant January 2012 and crohns was under control, recently I'm having new symptoms, I'm having severe pain round my anus, the area is so red and inflammed and Everytime I have a BM I have to go through the pain of wiping also seem to be leaking fluid as well, any ideas what this could be?

What colour is the leakage? I am wondering if you have an abscess... Are you still under any routine care with a GI doc and are you still on the Humira?

Ah so you have been med free? Are you due to see your doc soon at all? If not I would look into getting an appt sorted so this can be checked out for you.

Yes, you do need to see a doctor to get checked. Could be a flare, or could be another problem. Only a doctor can really tell you.....

Hi helzbelz
I really think you should see your GP in the first instance to check you out and put your mind at rest, whatever the problem is. You need to know what you're dealing with. I too went into remission when pregnant, and took no meds whatsoever, just to be on the safe side.
Needless to say, the Crohn's came back with a vengeance after my son's birth in June 2010, but my consultant had already warned me this would probably be the case.
Get yourself checked out, please - at least then you will know how the land lies.
