Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-term inflammation and ulcers in the inner lining of the colon and rectum. It is one of the two main types of IBD, the other being Crohn’s disease. UC typically begins in the rectum and may spread upward in a continuous pattern through the colon. The exact cause of UC is not known, but it is believed to result from an abnormal immune response, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the colon, combined with genetic and environmental factors. The primary symptoms of ulcerative colitis include persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramping, and blood in the stool. People with UC may also experience fatigue, weight loss, and urgency to have bowel movements. The severity of symptoms can vary, with periods of flare-ups followed by periods of remission. The exact cause of UC remains unclear, but several factors are thought to contribute, including genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, and environmental triggers such as infections or stress. UC is more common in people between the ages of 15 and 30 and those with a family history of the condition. While there is no cure for ulcerative colitis, treatment options aim to control inflammation, manage symptoms, and induce remission. These include medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressive drugs, and biologics. In more severe cases, surgery to remove the colon may be necessary. Managing ulcerative colitis also involves lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding foods that trigger flare-ups. Regular medical check-ups are important to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. Early diagnosis and effective management can help people with UC lead active, fulfilling lives despite the challenges of the disease.
