Distal colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that primarily affects the distal part of the colon, particularly the rectum and the lower portion of the sigmoid colon. It is often associated with ulcerative colitis, characterized by inflammation, ulceration, and symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, and in some cases, surgery may be considered. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving quality of life and preventing complications.
