Ulcerative colitis

It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine that affects the layer that internally lines the large intestine or colon.
Ulcerative colitis

The most common signs are bloody diarrhea, colicky abdominal pain and the urgent desire to have a bowel movement. In more serious cases, fatigue, weight loss and fever may also occur. Given the association between ulcerative colitis and colon cancer, regular colonoscopy screening is recommended.
