Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the inner lining of the large intestine. It causes inflammation, ulceration, and swelling in the colon and rectum, leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other unpleasant symptoms. UC is a chronic condition that has no known cure, but treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of developing complications. The main treatments include dietary changes, medications, and in severe cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to reduce the risk of long-term complications and improve quality of life.
