What is Colitis, it’s symptoms
Colitis is a digestive disorder in which there is a chronic inflammation of the colon
(large intestine). In ulcerative colitis, the entire colon is involved. When the entire colon is involved, the terms pancolitis or universal colitis are used. It is a form of inflammatory bowel disease
and are similar. Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation
of the digestive tract, is characterized by abdominal pain and diarrhea. Like Crohn’s disease,
another common IBD, ulcerative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to
life-threatening complications.
colitis symptoms:
The symptoms of the condition can vary, depending on how much of the colon is affected
and the level of inflammation. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhoea with mucus. There may also be tiredness and fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss,anaemia,fever, dehydration, weight-loss, and a constant desire to empty the bowels (known as tenesmus).Symptoms are often worse first thing in the morning.
Many people living with condition will have longs periods of months or years where they experience very few, or no, symptoms. However, in all cases, without treatment, symptoms will eventually return. No specific trigger that causes the return of symptoms has been identified, though it is
thought that stress may play a factor.
