WHAT IS ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

What Is The Treatment Of Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition of large intestines, presented with inflammation, swelling, and ulcers of the large intestine. The large intestine is also known as colon, suffers from chronic inflammation, gradually developing tiny holes or ulcers producing pus or mucus. Ulcerative colitis affects the inner lining of the colon and rectum. Symptoms develop gradually. Ulceration and inflammation leads to abdominal pain, discomfort and damage the colon.

WHAT IS IBD?

IBD is inflammatory bowel disease. It comprises two major conditions, namely:

  1. Ulcerative colitis
  2. Crohn’s disease

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

Factors contributing to cause of ulcerative colitis are:

Immune System

Immune system protects our body against infections from virus and bacteria. But when this immune system mistakenly attack the lining of the intestine instead of foreign body and it leads to inflammation of the colon, gradually resulting in ulcers.

Genes

According to research certain abnormal genes are found to be responsible for ulcerative colitis. It is found running in families.

Environment

Regular or much intake of antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives, and high-fat diet increases the risk of ulcerative colitis.

WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN AND SYMPTOMS?

Sign and symptoms of ulcerative colitis develop gradually. Patient suffering from ulcerative colitis can have mild or severe symptoms depending upon the severity and duration of the disease. Some of the important signs and symptoms are as follows:

Sign and symptoms in ulcerative colitis patients occur periodically. There is a time when the patient feels completely fine and there are no symptoms and then again there is remission of complaints. This period of no sign and symptoms can be of days, months or even years. The remission is unpredictable.

WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF DEVELOPING ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

However, people of any age can be affected with this disease but some people are more prone and at greater risk of developing it:

  • Age - People aging between 15 to 30.
  • Family History - The one having a family history of inflammatory bowel disease.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

According to the part of colon affected specifies the type of Ulcerative Colitis, ulcerative colitis can be of following types:

  • Ulcerative Proctitis - Is a type in which the part of colon near to anus, i.e. rectum is affected. There is rectal bleeding with loose stools and pain. It is the mildest form of ulcerative colitis.
  • Proctosigmoiditis - This is the type which is affecting the  rectum and sigmoid colon. Presented with complaints like blood in loose stool, abdominal pain, there is an urge to pass stool but not able to pass due to tenesmus.
  • Pancolitis - It affects the whole colon and the symptoms are more severe like bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue.
  • Left-sided Clitis - It affects rectum and left the side of colon involving sigmoid colon and descending colon. The symptoms seen are loose stool with blood, nausea, loss weight, abdominal pain.

  1. Physical examination
  2. Family history and previous medical history
  3. Lab tests
  4. Endoscopy

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

Conventionally treatment for ulcerative colitis is intended to manage the symptoms. The aim is to initiate the relaxation period, i.e. when there are no signs and symptoms and to maintain it.

WHAT IS ULCERATIVE COLITIS ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA?

Ulcerative colitis is known as pitta Grahani in Ayurveda and according to Ayurveda, it is caused due to the accumulation of toxins and impurities in the body. It is a disease of pitta dosha and a varying amount of Vata dosha involved too. Impurities and toxins (Ama) accumulate from food containing much amount of pitta. When one eats the food which aggravate the pitta slowly makes a coating on the lining of colon. This results that immune system identifies it as a foreign material and attack the colon affecting both rakht dhatu (blood) and mamsa dhatu (muscles).

Ayurvedic treatment involves gradually eliminating Ama and restoring the health of the colon.
