Hello,
The origin of ulcerative colitis is unknown because many genetic and environmental factors are likely to be involved.
Even though the origin of this condition is unclear, having a family member with ulcerative colitis increases the risk of developing the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
