About Ulcerative Colitis

As the name says the colon becomes inflamed and there is formation of ulcers on the inner lining of the colon. It mainly affects the large intestine (the colon) rather than the small intestines. The ulceration is caused by uncontrolled inflammation going on underneath endothelial layer of the colon. These ulcers become painful and bleed profusely after every effort to pass stool. The colon becomes swollen and painful which leads to feeling of fullness and perpetual feeling of going to pass on the stools. This process of defecation becomes a nightmare for the sufferer as stools can be explosive, full of blood, mucous, pus or everything together sometimes.
