Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon's lining, causing ulcers and long-lasting inflammation. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea with blood, and weight loss. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves an abnormal immune response. Treatment focuses on symptom management and reducing inflammation.
