How Do You Identify Signs Of Ulcerative Colitis?
Ulcerative colitis, also known as granulomatous colitis, is a condition of the large intestine, or colon. This condition is serious, caused by inflammation that creates ulcers and sores within the digestive tract. While causes of this condition are unknown, it is believed to be genetic, and known to be infectious. Risks increase with a family history or disposition to the condition, which affects all age groups, males and females (though young women seem to suffer from the condition more often than others). Most typically, ulcerative colitis affects the lower portion of the colon, or rectal area, but some individuals experience ulcers along the entire colon tract. It is very important to learn about, recognize and identify signs of ulcertative colitis in order to prevent complications such as blood loss, malnutrition, blood poisoning and increased risk of colon cancer. Pay attention to any pain developing in the left side of the abdomen, which often improves after a bowel movement. Pai
