Mesacol 800Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for female, 35 years old from Pune

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in year 2000. I was on Mesacol and steroids and I was fine after. Also I followed Ayurveda medicine and it helped me recover, in year 2009’it flared up after my marriage and change of country and Again in 2013 After my son’s birth it flared up but was brought under control. Since then I don’t have any symptoms and indications. I have met people who are on continuous medication for years, but I have been fine through diet and lifestyle change. I am always worried what if it flares up again. Is it possible that it is reversed? I am afraid to do a colonoscopy as it was not a pleasant experience for me. Please advice.

One usually requires a low dose of mesalamine for maintenance Someone who required a course of steroids more than once should not stop the medicine without a gastroenterologist opinion You can tell the gastroenterologist that you want a full sedation when and if you have to undergo colonoscopy, that way you wont feel any discomfort.

Asked for male, 73 years old from Bangalore

Hi Sir, I am taking mesacol 400 mg tablets 2-0-1 for the past 4 years as maintenance dose for ulcerative colitis, which I had contracted almost 25 years ago, the maintenance dose for which I am taking is for last 4 years. I am 70 years old and is not on any other medication except covance 50 mg tablets for bp in 1-0-0 dosage. Of late I am getting knee pain on both my legs which the physician says is starting of osteo arthritis. Since I am moderately active with regular morning walks for 1 hour and some mild yoga exercises and is not smoker or alcoholic and I am very regular with my food timings I am constrained to believe that the so called osteo arthritis can be due tomesacol. If so please advise a way to come out of this ailment.

You have osteoarthritis and it is not due to mesacol and your age is the cause of oa which happens as the age advances despite being active or engaged in exercises as you do.

Please consult medical gastroenterologist in your area. If there is not much response to above stated treatment, immunosuppression and monoclonal antibodies is the next possible option. Some individuals who do not respond to this as well are candidates for surgery i.e. Colectomy, where affected portion of colon is removed.

Asked for female, 27 years old from Hyderabad

I'm suffering from ulcerative colitis. I was diagnosed in 2011 Nov. After doing colonoscopy my doctor told that it has affected my whole colon and suggested me methylprednisolone from 36 mg and decreasing it 4 mg every 5 days and stop it. And I used Azathioprine and mesacol for 4 years. After I started using these medicines I started feeling normal but used to have inflammation sometimes and with using ornidazole for 3 days I used to become normal. In Nov 2015 after doing colonoscopy again my doctor confirmed that it has cured very well and asked me to stop using Azathioprine and continue using mesacol. Now almost after 1 and half year again y symptoms for Ulcerative colitis came back and I had to consult doctor and again after doing sigmoidoscopy it is confirmed that ulcer has started again in my colon. Again I was suggested to methylprednisolone and Azathioprine. Currently I'm under medication. Now with my experience I figured out that over masturbation has caused ulcerative colitis to me. Actual in when I was 12 or 13 I got to know something that happened in my family and it disturbed me a lot and got me into masturbation and now it is causing so many health issues for me. As mentioned earlier I used to have increased inflammation sometimes under medication too, that used to happen when ever I had done masturbation. So, I have decided I won't do it again and by end of 2015 everything was fine it got cured well. Now recently in Feb 2017 I had masturbated twice and my ulcerative colitis came back. Until then I was fine without any problem. Now my question is only masturbating twice has got me again into worse ulcerative colitis, if I have sex then will it worsen my condition? I'm 24 and my parents are started searching matches for me and I'm very confused about what to do. If having sex increases ulcerative colitis then I don't want to get into it as this may lead to colon cancer and surgery all those things. I don't want to risk my health and life. Also my ovaries functioning has decreased. I think the reason for that is also excessive masturbation. Please suggest me something on this.

There is no connection between masturbation and ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a life long disease which has relapsing remitting course. Stop worrying about masturbation. It has no connection with ulcerative colitis.

Ulcerative colitis is usually only in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Forms range from mild to severe.
Having ulcerative colitis puts a patient at increased risk of developing colon cancer. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and pain.
Homoeo medicines can cure such condition.
