Colitis

Corticosteroids, aminosaliclates, azathioprine, and cyclosporine are some of the more used medications to treat ulcerative colitis. Each physician does have different medicines that they prefer so its important to speak to your doctor about what is right for you.

10% of people who have an IBD have ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis does not affect sperm quality.

It means that it may not be a true ulcerative colitis but may be colitis related to some infection or antibiotic induced colitis

Diarrhoea (sometimes up to 20+ times a day), presence of blood in stools, stomach discomfort/cramping sensations (which can become significantly worse when certain foods are eaten), anemia (pale skin), and exhaustion are the main symptoms.

there is not a normal anus size. really it depends how wide your hips are and how fat you are. but guys like fit young girls with a slim stomach but with really big anuses. this way guys can push there penis further in

I have that condition but I never actually lost weight. I did gain weight from a steroid my doctors put me on, which I eventually lost most of. But most any time someone loses any significant amount of weight over a short period of time your body is likely to gain it back along with a few additional pounds.

The treatment for C. difficile colitis is usually just to discontinue the use of antibiotic that caused the colitis. In extreme cases sufferers may be given metronidazole antibiotics to counter the colitis as well.

through the heart, the heart has sides to it, the left and the right. The right side pumps blood to the lungs in order for oxgyen to be produced, but the left is the most strongest side because it needs to pump all the oxygenated blood around the body to its organs.

Yes! I have ulcerative colitis and when I was pregnant with my daughter I had the worse flares of my life!

My doctor told me it had something to do with my colon being squashed as the baby grew.

The rectum. And you can tell it comes first by just looking at a model of the digestive system. The anus is at the tip of your rectum, so the rectum would come first, and the anus would come last. :) :) :) :)
The rectum comes first. The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in some mammals, and the gut in others, terminating in the anus.

Eating with ulcerative colitis should be based on a well-balanced diet that's high in protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, and good fats. Such a diet will provide you with energy and keep you well. Your diet may include meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products (if you don't have lactose intolerance); breads and cereals; fruits and vegetables; and margarine and oils.

Your quality of life is expected to drop a lot more than the quantity of it. However, I do know that approximately 5/10 people who have this disease die earlier than their counterparts.

Source : I suffer from it and even my father had it. I know quite a lot about it.

No, colitis is an inflammation in the large intestine and proctitis is an infection in the actual rectum. Basically, colitis is inflammation up higher and proctitis is inflammation down lower.

Suppositories are normally smooth, bullet shaped pills made of a substance that becomes liquid or dissolves when exposed to the internal temperature and environment of the rectum and colon. They are used as a drug delivery system for systemically or locally acting medications. A suppository may be employed when the drug being delivered has the tendency to cause stomach upset (such as Voltaren), or if the patient is experiencing intractible vomiting. The suppository is deployed by gently pushing it through the anus, into the rectum. This may be facilitated by using an exam glove or finger cot. Extra lubrication is rarely needed due to the nature of the medium used, but if needed, it should be water-soluble.

There are no dietary restrictions for colitis. Avoidance of milk and diary products and highly spiced food can sometimes help some patients with colitis.

a family member was diagnosed with this illness. the gi dr. stated that this was contagious via fecal and/or oral route can taking only one round of antibiotics cause you to have pseudomembranous colitis

Ulcerative colitis can be a horrible disease to have, but there are things that you can eat to help the situation. www.webmd.com/ibd-crohns-disease/���ulcerative-colitis/���creating-an-ulcerative-colitis-plan

Ulcerative colitis will not affect catching HPV; it is very contagious and nearly all that are exposed to the virus catch HPV.

The technically correct answer is Yes, this being death from complications of surgery to remove the colon, which sometimes becomes necessary in cases refractive to drug treatment. If, say, 20% of UC cases are ultimately refractive to treatment and the death rate from the surgery is 5%, that means the death rate from UC is 1%. So at the time of initial diagnosis chances are about 99% you will ultimately die of something else.

I actually suffer from the disease, and have done for about 15 years untreated. Now i would say these days, it's highly unlikely that you would die from Colitis. If you have regular bowel exams, say every 2 years, to check for signs of pre-cancerous changes, you should be able to live a pretty normal life. there are many treatments available to control colitis, many different diets to try. In fact the risk of cancer i think is increased 5 fold if you have the disease, which in the big scheme of things is not that high. I read somewhere that actually 95% of people with colitis do no develop cancer. Keep a positive attitude towards life and don't let the disease control you.

I was diagnosed in 04' with ulcerative colits after about 8 months of misdiagnosis. By the time I was correctly diagnosed I had to be hospitalized because my white blood cells were ten times what they were supposed to be and so high that even cancer patients have lower white cells than I did at the time. I almost died from this disease. I had been given so many different types of treatment from steroids all the way to remission medicine they give people with cancer. nothing would help I was wasting away. I was in the hospital for almost a month when the gastro doc finally consulted with a surgeon and he told me my only option was a total colectomy or I wouldn't last another week. That night they did surgery and removed my entire large intestines. I had a iliostomy bag for 6 months until they did the J pouch surgery.

Many different medications can be used to treat Colitis. Doctors will prescribe Anti-Inflammatory drugs, along with Immune System Suppressors, and sometimes just the common antibiotic.

No, if you are incontinent of stool, you get diapers. If you have a colostomy or jejunostomy, you have a collection bag that adheres to your body to collect feces.

No. Ulcerative colitis patients have generally higher white blood cells.

There is currently no cure for Crohn's, but it is treatable. See the related link for more information.

Actually it is but most Doctors do not have the answer other than giving you crap meds...I beat it and have not had a relaspe in 20 years!...First take natural vitamin E...that's the d-alpha...then get a high quality multi-vitamin mineral supplement...then get ester C ...the C and E should be 1000 milligrams twice a day!....Also the same with the multi twice a day) that's for starters....then pray to the good Lord ...laugh now but it worked for me!...and by the good Lord I mean Jesus not anything else....going on drink 2 quarts of fresh water a day if not more I always have a container of water with me....Since I have been healed since 1990 I can eat the 'hottest' hot sauces on the planet eat anything I want and drink any alcohol I want!......so if you don't believe me move on .....just saying I know....and am living proof....if you say will that work for me?...take it to the bank!...Thx MIke
