Ulcerative colitis is an
inflammatory bowel disease that results in chronic inflammation in digestive tract, usually in the large intestine (colon) and the
rectum. The patients of ulcerative colitis have swelling along with ulcers located in their colon and rectum.
Broadly speaking ulcerative colitis is included under an umbrella term called as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a term referring to the diseases that cause chronic inflammatory condition of digestive tract. Another condition included under this category is
Crohn’s disease. Crohn's disease can cause inflammation similar to ulcerative colitis anywhere in the digestive tract from the mouth to the rectum, but more commonly it attacks the
small intestine in contrast to ulcerative colitis, which attacks mainly the large intestine.
Inside the large intestine, the inflammation of the inner lining (mucosa) causes death of the colon lining cells and this results in sores or ulcers. Also the inflammation makes the colon to empty frequently resulting in
diarrhea. As the lining of the colon is destroyed, ulcers form releasing mucus, pus and blood.
