Overview
Ulcerative colitis affects the colon and rectum, causing inflammation, bleeding, urgent bowel movements and cramping. Unlike Crohn’s, inflammation is limited to the colon lining.
Diagnosis requires colonoscopy showing inflammation pattern. Treatment focuses on achieving remission (no inflammation) and preventing flares through medication, diet, and lifestyle management.
