For many patients, medical therapy is the first-line treatment. This involves adjusting medications like mesalazine or corticosteroids. Treatment plans are highly individualized. A non-surgical management package typically includes consultation, colonoscopy, and gastroscopy with biopsy. It may cost around $800 to $3,000, not including medications.
Surgical Treatment Options
