Introduction

Ulcerative Colitis or ulcer of the colon is a disease of the bowel tract/ intestinal tract that causes inflammatory ulcers in the inner lining of the digestive tract. The damage causes inflammation and ulcer formation in the flooded area, while the symptoms noticed are mild or severe depending upon the progression and cause of the disease. Intestinal bacteria that are good and helpful in many digestion-related functions can also be the cause of ulcers. The exact location of the ulcer is determined through imaging tests. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disorder in which your body’s immune system attacks the healthy linings/tissues/cells of the intestines.
