An ulcer in the colon, often referred to as a colonic ulcer, is a sore or open wound that forms on the inner lining of the colon. This condition can result from various factors, including inflammatory bowel diseases (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), infections, or prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include medications, dietary changes, or in some cases, surgery.
