Is Crohn’s Disease Fatal?

In general, Crohn’s disease is not life-threatening on its own. It means people are unlikely to die when they have this condition. Nevertheless, if left untreated properly, Crohn’s disease may lead to fatal complications, such as colorectal cancer, infections, fistulas, and more. This may depend on the location and extend of the disease. Keep in mind to talk with your doctor as soon as you notice any serious symptoms. Early treatment would increase the chance of recovery. [2]
