Inflammatory bowel disease includes chronic disorders like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis that cause inflammation in the intestines. Crohn's disease causes transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, while ulcerative colitis primarily involves only the inner lining of the colon and rectum. The causes involve genetic susceptibility and defects in the immune system that lead to uncontrolled inflammation. Family history, certain genetic markers, and environmental triggers influence risk, though the specific causes remain unknown.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon. The disease starts in the rectum and may spread throughout the entire large intestine. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and weight loss. The disease is thought to be caused by an immune system defect, genetic factors, and environmental triggers like diet and stress. Diagnosis involves blood tests, stool exams, and colonoscopy. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and includes medications, nutrition therapy, and sometimes surgery to remove the colon.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon that causes diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding. The disease involves inflammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of the colon. A colonoscopy with biopsies is usually required for diagnosis. Treatment involves medications to reduce inflammation and surgery to remove the colon in severe cases. Complications can include severe bleeding, colon perforation, and an increased risk of colon cancer.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that involves the colonic mucosa. It typically affects the rectum first and may extend proximally in a continuous manner. The disease runs a relapsing and remitting course. Treatment involves 5-aminosalicylates and corticosteroids to induce and maintain remission. For moderate to severe disease, immunosuppressants like azathioprine, anti-TNF agents, and vedolizumab may be used. Surgery with proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the treatment of choice for those who require colectomy.
This document provides information on ulcerative colitis (UC), including:
- UC most commonly affects individuals aged 15-30 and 60-80, with equal rates in males and females.
- Colonic manifestations include diarrhea, rectal bleeding, tenesmus, passage of mucus, and crampy abdominal pain. Disease severity ranges from mild to severe.
- Extraintestinal manifestations occur in 6-10% of cases and include uveitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
- Complications include toxic megacolon, perforation, colorectal cancer, and strictures. Treatment involves medications and may require surgery.
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon in a continuous pattern from the rectum upwards. It involves only the mucosa and submucosa. Key features include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis is made through endoscopy, biopsy, and ruling out Crohn's disease which can have a patchy transmural involvement pattern and granulomas on biopsy. The risk of colon cancer is higher with ulcerative colitis compared to Crohn's disease. Indeterminate colitis is diagnosed when the features overlap between the two conditions and it is not possible to distinguish.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes irritation, inflammation, and ulcers in the lining of your large intestine (also called your colon). There's no cure, and people usually have symptoms off and on for life
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes two major types: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract and often involves the full thickness of the intestinal wall. Ulcerative colitis only involves the innermost layers of the colon and rectum. Both conditions result from an interaction between genetic, immune, environmental, and bacterial factors. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Treatment focuses on inducing remission through medications like aminosalicylates or surgery to remove the colon. Crohn's disease is characterized by "skip lesions" and strictures while ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers confined to the colon.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, or
long-lasting, disease that causes inflammation and sores, called ulcers, in the
inner lining of the large intestine, which includes the colon and the
rectum—the end part of the colon.
UC is one of the two main forms of chronic
inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, called inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD). The other form is called Crohn’s disease.
Normally, the large intestine absorbs water
from stool and changes it from a liquid to a solid. In UC, the inflammation
causes loss of the lining of the colon, leading to bleeding, production of pus,
diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the colon. The main symptoms include diarrhea mixed with blood, abdominal pain, and weight loss. The inflammation typically involves the rectum and extends proximally in the colon. The disease severity and extent of colon involvement are used to classify patients. Complications can include toxic megacolon, colon cancer, and extraintestinal manifestations affecting other organs.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine. It has a complex interaction of genetic susceptibility, immunity, and environmental factors. The highest rates are seen in Northern Europe and North America. Clinically, it presents with diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, and can range from limited to the rectum to involving the entire colon. The pathology shows continuous superficial inflammation and regenerative changes. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and immunosuppression.
Diverticulitis is an inflammation and infection of the bowel caused by bacteria or fecal matter trapped in pouches in the intestine called diverticula. It is more common in older adults, males, and those with low-fiber diets and constipation. Symptoms include abdominal pain in the lower left quadrant radiating to the back along with nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills. Diagnosis involves blood tests, stool samples, imaging like CT scans, and colonoscopy. Treatment ranges from antibiotics and diet changes for uncomplicated cases to IV antibiotics, fluids, and possibly surgery for perforated or abscessed areas. Complications can include bowel perforation, bleeding, infection, and obstruction if not properly treated
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune-mediated chronic intestinal condition with two major subtypes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. IBD results from a disruption of homeostasis between the gut microbiota, intestinal epithelial cells, and immune system due to environmental and genetic factors in susceptible individuals. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, imaging, and lab tests. Treatment depends on disease severity and includes medications like 5-ASAs, steroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and sometimes surgery.

It describes the main causes as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder; surgery or radiation treatment to the thyroid; and disorders of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. Symptoms include fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, weight gain, and slowed heart rate. Conventional treatment replaces thyroid hormones, while homeopathic treatment addresses the root cause by stimulating the thyroid gland. Diet and supplements can also help boost thyroid function.
Swine flu is caused by influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks in pigs. The 2009 outbreak derived from human, avian, and swine influenza strains. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, coughing, and vomiting. Historical pandemics like the 1918 Spanish Flu killed millions. Homeopathic treatments were found to have much lower mortality rates compared to allopathic treatments during the 1918 flu pandemic. To reduce risk of infection, avoid contact with sick individuals and practice good hygiene. Remaining calm and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help boost immunity.
