Ulcerative colitis is the most common type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon (lining of the large intestine) and rectum. The inflammation produces tiny sores called ulcers. This disease can affect people of any age. The major symptoms of this disease include diarrhea, belly pain/cramps, bleeding from the rectum, also other indications include sudden and unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, joint pain, eye disease, thickening of the intestinal wall, blood infection (sepsis), kidney stones, and liver disease. The diagnosis of this disease can be carried out by physical examination using tests such as colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scan, and blood test. If ulcerative colitis persists for over eight years or longer, it may lead to colon cancer.

The people having mild symptoms of this disease can be cured by over-the-counter drugs such as Imodium therapy. However, transcription medicine such as steroid medicines and amino salicylates are widely used to treat the condition. In severe cases, the patient may need to undergo surgery to remove the colon, which also helps to prevent colon cancer. The exact cause for ulcerative colitis is unknown, though possible reasons are may be genetic factors, environmental changes, or weakened immune system.
