Ulcerative colitis (UC) refers to a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes irritation, inflammation, and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract. It typically affects the inner lining of the large intestine (or colon) and rectum. The symptoms generally develop over time, and individuals diagnosed with UC may experience periods of mild or no symptoms. However, it can sometimes lead to debilitating or life-threatening complications. While there is no cure for UC yet, the treatment can help patients manage and reduce their symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and bring about long-term remission. As a result, UC treatment is rapidly gaining traction across the globe as it can help enhance the quality of life and ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of the patients.
