I am looking over medical records of a colonoscopy that I have done. The pathology report says they found focal involved colitis with focal ulceration along near active cryptitis next to crypt abscess formation. What exactly are those? All I know is that my doc diagnosed me with Crohn's when it be done back contained by 2005 (along with an upper GI). But in a minute that I am reading my records I am curious as to what exactly they found. I can't give the impression of being to find a good explanation online.Help near gobbledygook of colonoscopy results?
Crypt abscess are abscesses which form contained by the folds of the colon. Focal active colitis stingy that there are isolated areas of colitis, it isn't adjectives over the colon. Ulceration explains itself.
Oh my, it's very willing to look at Crohn's disease first and then you'll know how to find the Colonoscopy procedure. By the way, you might want to type within "regional enteritis" on the search box. It's another pet name for Crohn's disease. But, I searched a layman's occupancy for you here:

I hope this helps. ^^
Avoid spicy foods t_t
EDIT: Oh, my desperate Jessie... sorry about that.. I designed regional enteritis. I always mix up those two words when I be in class ^^ Thanks for the correction. ^^
FYI to serenity: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's are not one and the same thing.
