What do you know about Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and sores, called ulcers, in the lining of the large intestine. The inflammation usually occurs in the rectum and lower part of the colon, but it may affect the entire colon. Ulcerative colitis rarely affects the small intestine except for the end section, called the terminal ileum. Ulcerative colitis may also be called colitis or proctitis.

The most common symptoms of ulcerative colitis are abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Patients also may experience:

Fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, rectal bleeding, loss of body fluids, and nutrients
