Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that mainly affects the lining of the colon and rectum, with periods of activity and periods of calm.
Common symptoms:
- Diarrhea, sometimes with blood or mucus
- Abdominal pain or cramps
- Urgency to have a bowel movement and fatigue
When to see the doctor? In the case of persistent diarrhea, bleeding, or abdominal discomfort that does not ease, an evaluation is important to identify the cause and provide follow-up.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who usually studies and follows this condition; a colorectal surgeon, an internist, or an endoscopist may also be involved depending on the case. If you have these symptoms, consulting in time with one of these professionals helps maintain better control.
