Pain in Your Gut?

Ulcerative colitis is a prevalent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that triggers inflammation in the colon and rectum, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and occasional rectal bleeding. Research says roughly 907,000 people in the US have ulcerative colitis, with an annual incidence rate of 12.2 cases per 100,000 individuals. The primary method for diagnosing UC is through colonoscopy observations.

Ulcerative colitis can result in localized complications within the intestines or systemic complications affecting the entire body. Localized inflammation may lead to issues like ulcers, while systemic inflammation can cause extra-intestinal complications such as joint pain, skin problems, and eye inflammation.
