Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the lining of the colon and rectum. It is a disease which happens over a long period of time – as a result, some people feel as though it’s the culmination of a few problems, rather than an instant warning sign to see a doctor. As an IBD with no definite cure, knowing the signs and symptoms a patient has are vital for specialists to determine what solutions will be most beneficial.
