Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Ulcerative colitis symptoms can vary, depending on the severity of inflammation. It can lead to diarrhea (often with blood or pus), abdominal pain and cramping, rectal pain & bleeding, weight loss and fever. Many times the symptoms donot develop suddenly, they develop over a period of time. Having ulcerative colitis puts a patient at increased risk of developing colon cancer.

Homeopathy is a reliable alternative in treating ulcerative colitis. Several homeopathic medicines are available to effectively manage the symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis and treat the condition. The extent of improvement and benefit may though depend on a large number of factors including the duration and intensity (mild/moderate/severity) of disease, stage at which Homeopathy medicines are started and individual body response.
