About Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is a lifelong condition managed by a gastroenterologist, focusing on reducing inflammation to achieve and maintain remission, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications. Diagnosis involves a combination of blood tests, stool analysis, and endoscopic procedures like colonoscopy with biopsy. Treatment is personalized and may include anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressants, biologics, and in severe cases, surgery to remove the colon. Ongoing management is crucial for improving quality of life and reducing the risk of colon cancer.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
