This is a disease that affects the large intestine and the rectum. The Ulcerative Colitis refers to the inflammation in the innermost lining of the large intestine. The main function of the large intestine is to absorb water from indigestible food matter in the body before throwing away any waste. Hence, the large intestine is a vital part of our body. If left untreated, the disease increases risk of colon cancer.

Ulcerative colitis is a disorder that causes inflammations and ulcers inside your colon, affecting the entire digestive system.

Severe cases of ulcerative colitis may even be fatal if treatment does not resolve some of the complications arising from the condition.
