The abbreviation “UC” refers to a disease such as nonspecific ulcerative colitis– pathology gastrointestinal tract which is accompanied by very serious symptoms: intestinal bleeding, fever, weight loss, pain. If treatment is not started in a timely manner or if it is absent, the disease becomes intractable and chronic.

The most frequent complications– colon cancer and rupture of the intestinal wall. UC suggests surgical treatment in case of life-threatening conditions, but in general they are used medications and folk remedies.

Causes of the disease

It is still impossible to establish exactly what exactly led to the pathology, but provoking factors have been identified.

The latter include:

• The risk of development increases if close relatives have UC;
• Infections;
• Impaired immune system functions;
• Gastrointestinal diseases;
• Emotional instability, neuropsychological characteristics.

The pathology affects the rectum, gradually spreading to healthy tissue. The mucous membrane and submucosal layer suffers, inner surface ulcers form in the organ.

Doctors say that the progression of the disease is facilitated by nervous disorders, therefore, with UC there are different symptoms and treatment is aimed at relieving them, including restoring psychological balance.

Stages and forms of ulcerative colitis

There are three stages of pathology: acute – signs and symptoms appear for the first time; chronic; recurrent – ​​exacerbations after temporary improvement in well-being.

According to the severity of the course, UC is classified into mild, moderate, and severe. With a mild course, the state of health is satisfactory, diarrhea - no more than 5 times a day, inclusions of blood may be observed. In severe cases, the patient has a fever, stools up to 8 times a day, and contains an admixture of mucus, blood, and pus. In the latter case, treatment is carried out only in a hospital setting.

UC: treatment with natural folk remedies

A properly selected course of herbal medicine can help reduce the severity of symptoms. Sometimes this method is the only effective one, when medications are powerless and it is too early to resort to surgery.

What herbs are used for UC

First of all, infusions are prepared from plants. It should have a mild, wound-healing effect, stop bleeding, and envelop the colon and rectum.

The herbs used to treat this disease have all these properties.

Infusions made from them restore the water-salt balance and replenish fluid loss.

For UC, treatment with the following herbs and herbal components is used:

• Currant, raspberry and strawberry leaves have a beneficial effect on the liver, helping to fight the disease;
• Dried blueberries cleanse the intestines and are involved in the fight against cancer cells;
• Nettle relieves inflammation, improves blood clotting, cleanses the intestines of putrefactive substances;
• Peppermint is used as a sedative, but such medications can eliminate diarrhea, inflammation, cramps, and also have antibacterial effect;
• Chamomile relieves spasms, has an antimicrobial and antibacterial effect;
• Yarrow is used for diarrhea, has bactericidal properties, and is able to cleanse the intestines of harmful microorganisms;
• It eliminates inflammation, pain, constipation, and has wound-healing properties;
• Cinquefoil is used for diarrhea and also has a wound healing effect;
• Pomegranate peel relieves inflammation, helps fight germs, stops diarrhea;
• Wormwood cleanses the intestines, which is very necessary in the treatment of ulcerative colitis;
• Celandine, like mint, has a sedative effect, fights harmful microbes, relieves inflammation, accelerates the healing of ulcers;
• St. John's wort has an anti-inflammatory effect, eliminates purulent impurities in the stool, and improves intestinal motility.

The listed plants can be used individually or together. To prepare the latter, plants are taken in equal proportions. Glycerin is sometimes added to decoctions and infusions.

Treatment of the chronic form with folk remedies

UC can be accompanied by both constipation and diarrhea, so these factors must be taken into account when choosing therapy.

If the patient has diarrhea, then the collections should include plants that have strengthening properties, for example, prepare an infusion of yarrow, chamomile, nettle, St. John's wort, rose hips (5: 1: 1: 1: 1).

As a result, the collection will have a strong antibacterial effect and will be able to stop diarrhea, bleeding and eliminate rotting.

After brewing in a water bath (a tablespoon per glass of water), the product is infused for several hours or overnight. Drink a glass of it before meals. It is worth noting that any new remedy that has not been used before can provoke allergic reaction, so you can’t even take natural ones without first consulting your doctor.

If a person suffers from constipation, then you need to use preparations that include herbs with a laxative effect. For example, infusions are prepared from chamomile, nettle, mint, valerian root and blueberries.

Treatment with folk remedies for acute symptoms

However, only high-quality large-leaf tea is used. Chamomile will also help, from which an equally strong infusion is prepared (4 tablespoons per glass of water).

The ingredients are mixed and heated in a water bath for 30 minutes, filtered. Drink chamomile infusion you need 100 ml after a meal.

In case of exacerbation accompanied by diarrhea, St. John's wort will help, but the infusion is not strong. You need to drink St. John's wort infusion 1/3 cup three times a day before meals.

Treatment of UC in case of relapse

As a rule, therapy is based on taking herbal infusions that can improve blood circulation and speed up the healing process of ulcers on the intestinal mucosa. It is recommended to use infusions based on nettle, St. John's wort, and peppermint, as they improve blood clotting. The listed plants must be added to other collections.

Enemas with sea ​​buckthorn oil. The latter activates the process of cell regeneration and promotes rapid healing of ulcers. For the procedure you will need a small pear and 50 ml of oil. The enema is administered at night, in a lying position. It is useful to take the product orally (1 spoon in the morning on an empty stomach).

UC: is treatment possible with homeopathy?

First of all, you need to contact an experienced homeopathic doctor. Only a qualified specialist will select the right funds. It takes into account the individual characteristics of the body, the severity and stage of the disease.

Based on the results obtained, homeopathy treatment is selected, the course of which usually begins with herbal medicine, and is later supplemented with acupuncture and massage.

Treatment of UC according to Bolotov and Naumov

People suffering from this disease have probably heard about these scientists. The results of their research showed that the cause of the pathology is the malfunction of a muscular valve called the pylorus, which separates the stomach from the duodenum.

If it works poorly (low contractility), then for a long time does not close, as a result, the microflora of the stomach and intestines mixes, which leads to gastrointestinal pathologies.

You can restore your legal capacity using Naumov’s recommendations:

• Half an hour after the meal, suck on ordinary salt;
• Introduce vegetable cake into the menu when chronic form pathologies;
• The following products are introduced into the diet little by little - meat, fish, mushrooms, pickled vegetables, kefir, cottage cheese;
• An hour and a half after the meal, drink an infusion of wormwood;
• Use whey kvass with the addition of celandine (a tablespoon every 2 hours).

From the article: "... I made a new portion of juice, sometimes half a glass, sometimes less. And so all summer and autumn."

Here are more recipes for colitis:
OLIVE OIL TO HELP THE STOMACH
Scientists from Norfolk examined 25,000 county residents aged 40 to 65 years. Many volunteers were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Nutritionists found that the diet of ulcer patients did not contain enough food rich in fatty acids, including oleic acid. Doctors are convinced that olive oil prevents the development of ulcerative colitis. It is oleic acid that protects the stomach by suppressing inflammatory mediators in the large intestine. To keep your stomach healthy, you need to consume 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil daily.

TREATMENT BY BOLOTOV. Ulcerative colitis.
1. drink 2-4 tablespoons of celandine enzyme every 3-4 hours.
2. be sure to consume 1-2 grams of salt 4-5 times a day with food.
3. The diet should contain meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, mushrooms and sour vegetables.
4. consume cabbage or (for heartburn) carrot cakes: 1-2 times a day, 2-4 tablespoons, alternating with raw potato cakes.
5. drink kvass made from wormwood, tansy, rowan fruits, and peppermint in unlimited quantities.
6. make a special thuja food paste. Recipe: take 1 kg of ground mass of young thuja leaves and mix with 1 glass of honey. Use 1 teaspoon of paste after each meal. The paste can be kept warm indefinitely. (other pastes are also useful - from red rowan and larkspur).
7. use for treatment yeast dough on rye flour, which is eaten raw, 2-4 tablespoons.
8. For cleansing, enemas are made from the celandine enzyme, diluted with whey or tea from wormwood or chamomile.
9. To nourish the body, rub it with apple cider vinegar and honey.

DOCTOR NAUMOV: PROPER NUTRITION IS THE ESSENCE OF SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. (FROM THE NEWSPAPER "HELD HEALTHY HEALTHY").

Poor nutrition, haste, spicy and salty foods - all this leads to disruptions in work gastrointestinal system. And if most often the case ends with gastritis and the constant use of pills to stabilize the intestines, the development of the disease can take a different path. Inflammatory processes can begin unnoticed by a person, and, if ignored, progress to nonspecific ulcerative colitis.

Colitis occurs as a result of an untreated inflammatory disease that becomes chronic. Nonspecific ulcerative colitis manifests itself as a chronic inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the large intestine of varying severity. May occur in a latent form with periodic exacerbations against the background external factors, or constantly remind you of yourself with various symptoms.

Classification

Depending on the area of ​​localization, colitis can be classified into four main types. They can occur either separately or in combination with each other.

Types of ulcerative colitis by location:

1. Regional ulcerative colitis- develops with local lesion colon. It is a small area of ​​inflammation that can expand over time and become more severe;
2. Total nonspecific ulcerative colitis- inflammation covers almost the entire epithelial layer of the large intestine and can affect deep tissues. Develops when ignored mild symptoms regional form;
3. Left-sided ulcerative colitis;
4. Nonspecific ulcerative proctitis- characterized by regional inflammation of the final section of the colon.

Of course, it is much easier to cure regional inflammation than total colitis, so you should not delay a visit to the doctor if you notice at least a few symptoms observed within a week.

Types of ulcerative colitis by severity:

1. Mild form - characterized by soft but infrequent stools, the presence of blood impurities is possible, there is no anemia or other abnormalities in the blood picture, the general condition is satisfactory;
2. Form moderate severity - loose stool with obvious admixture of blood, fever, possible tachycardia, change in hemoformula, general condition is satisfactory, possible weakness;
3. Severe form - pronounced diarrhea, anemia, fever, accompanied by an increase in temperature, the general condition is severe or very serious.

A severe form of ulcerative colitis requires urgent hospitalization of the patient in a hospital and surgical intervention followed by rehabilitation, while treatment light form may only take a few weeks.

Types of ulcerative colitis depending on the course:

1. Acute colitis - obvious attacks that most often occur suddenly with the dominant action of external factors;
2. Chronic colitis- indolent disease, for which the dominant factor is genetic predisposition;
3. Recurrent colitis- chronic colitis, which, under the influence of certain external factors, can become acute, and when the irritating factor disappears, again become chronic.

The most difficult thing, of course, is to cure chronic and recurrent colitis, since with these types of disease a fairly large area of ​​the mucous membrane is affected. Its recovery takes longer than the treatment of point inflammation on the intestinal walls, and sometimes surgical intervention may be required.

Symptoms of nonspecific ulcerative colitis

Depending on the severity of the disease, the symptoms of ulcerative colitis may vary. If the disease proceeds in a latent form, there may be a prolonged manifestation of minor symptoms that were ignored by the patient for a long time.

All symptoms that can be observed with ulcerative colitis can be divided into intestinal and extraintestinal.

Main intestinal symptoms of the disease:

• Diarrhea with blood and mucus in the stool;
• Abdominal pain, cutting and aching in nature, most often in the left side;
• A noticeable decrease in appetite, accompanied by weight loss;
• Fever with increased temperature;
• Violations of water and electrolyte balance in the body, which affects the functioning of the kidneys.

You may notice that the symptoms of colitis are similar to those of other intestinal diseases, such as Crohn's disease, gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome, which is why the doctor, when diagnosing accurate diagnosis takes into account extraintestinal symptoms.

Extraintestinal symptoms:

• Damage to the organs of vision - conjunctivitis, iritis, accompanied by deterioration of vision;
• Inflammatory processes on the oral mucosa;
• Arthritis;
• Skin diseases of a local or local nature;
• Thrombophlebitis, thromboembolism.

Combination of intestinal and extra intestinal symptoms allows you to move on to more detailed diagnostics diseases to determine the cause of ulcerative colitis, determine the severity and select the most effective treatment method.

Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis

Before carrying out in-depth diagnostics and taking tests, GMS Clinic specialists conduct survey control and external inspection. If several are detected external symptoms diseases, the doctor prescribes diagnostic tests. Among them, three main ones can be distinguished: x-ray, microbiological and pathomorphological studies. Each type provides certain information about the severity and course of the disease, so all three studies are most often prescribed.

X-ray examination

This type of study allows you to determine inflammatory processes in the intestinal mucosa. Most often, a decrease in the intestinal lumen, ulceration of the mucous membrane, manifested by irregularities on the surface, is observed; single large ulcerative formations may be detected. If, with suitable symptoms, there are no manifestations of colitis on the radiograph, with the exception of ulcers, the patient is referred for re-examination to an oncologist.

If chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis is suspected, it is possible to observe a narrowing of the intestinal lumen along with its rigidity, there is no peristaltic activity, and possible shortening of the intestine caused by muscle spasm.

Microbiological examination

For patients who are encountering the problem of colitis for the first time, it is necessary to conduct a microbiological study to exclude viral nature diseases. The material is inoculated, on the basis of which a further conclusion is made. Most often, with nonspecific ulcerative colitis, there is a significant increase in the activity of pathogenic flora, an increase in the number of Staphylococci Proteus, a decrease in the number of lactobacilli, and the appearance of specific microflora that is uncharacteristic of a healthy intestine.

Pathological examination

Most often, ulcerative colitis is characterized by lesions of the mucous membrane, which can penetrate to the submucosal layer, and in some cases affect the muscular layer. The edges of ulcerative perforations are smooth; excessive growth of glandular epithelium may form on the remaining part of the mucous epithelium. On an x-ray, these formations are clearly visible, and depending on their number and density, we can talk about the severity of the disease.

For additional confidence in the correctness of the diagnosis, additional laboratory tests may be performed to determine the blood picture. It is also possible to use a special marker, which is then determined in the blood, and by its amount one can judge the development of colitis.

Nonspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Complications

The symptoms and etiology of these two diseases are very similar, but a specialist needs to distinguish between them in order to offer the most effective treatment method.

The main difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is its pronounced localization in one part of the intestine. In addition, Crohn's disease is not characterized heavy bleeding, which can be observed with colitis, and instead of ulcerative formations, fistulous tracts appear in the intestinal walls. Colitis is characterized by a chaotic arrangement of foci of inflammation, while Crohn's disease has a pronounced segmental character: a noticeable alternation of zones of mucosal damage and healthy zones.

We should not forget that, like any other disease, ulcerative colitis can cause complications. This occurs due to the patient's reluctance to undergo treatment, or in cases of transition acute form colitis to chronic. GMS Clinic specialists advise not to delay treatment, as it is much easier to cure the disease on initial stage and without complications than to treat the whole complex intestinal inflammation.

Possible complications of ulcerative colitis:

1. Toxic megacolon, which is manifested by significant thickening of the intestinal wall and narrowing of the lumen. Gradual exhaustion and dehydration of the body occurs, which leads to death;
2. Perforation of the intestine followed by open bleeding. Leads to infection of the mucous membrane, even more severe inflammation and dehydration. Characterized by a noticeable decrease in hemoglobin in the blood, which leads to weakening of the body and, possibly, death;
3. Colon cancer can also develop as a result of ulcerative colitis. Most often occurs in patients with total colitis, and the risk of development increases over 10 years;
4. Acute perforation of the intestine in several segments, which can lead to a fatal outcome of the disease. There is severe bleeding and sharp pains accompanied by thickening of the intestinal wall;

In order to avoid complications and return to a healthy lifestyle as quickly as possible, you should not ignore the slightest symptoms and consult a doctor for diagnostic examination. Complications can develop not only in acute, but also in chronic forms of ulcerative colitis.

Treatment of ulcerative colitis

Depending on the severity of the disease, GMS Clinic specialists decide on surgical intervention, or drug therapy. General indications are blood transfusions and fluid infusion, since colitis causes dehydration and electrolyte imbalance towards acidosis. Most often, the patient is transferred to paraenteral nutrition to reduce the effect on the intestinal mucosa.

GMS Clinic specialists conduct an individual selection of drug therapy, which is carried out in several directions:

1. Stopping internal bleeding;
2. Stabilization of the water-salt balance of the body: for this, infusion drugs and drugs are used to stop diarrhea;
3. Reducing the traumatic effect on the intestinal mucosa for successful renewal of the epithelial layer.

Individual selection of drugs allows you to minimize the duration of treatment, as well as have minimal toxic effects on the body. So, during antibiotic therapy, the doctor prescribes lactodrugs to support the natural intestinal microflora.

If drug therapy does not produce results and all symptoms persist, a decision is made to surgery. There are three main types of operations that are performed for ulcerative colitis:

1. Palliative operations that do not involve complete removal of the mucous membrane and foci of inflammation. This type is chosen when less than 60% of the intestine is affected, and foci of inflammation are localized in various parts of it;
2. Radical surgical interventions carried out in case of severe damage to the intestines and the impossibility of its recovery. Provides for resection of individual segments of the intestine with subsequent restoration of its integrity;
3. Reconstructive surgeries involve the complete removal of your own intestines and replacing them with prostheses.

After drug therapy or surgery, the patient requires long-term rehabilitation. It includes several main provisions:

1. Diet. It's about rather not about the exclusion of any food products, but about a gentle form of food. Soft cereals, soups, lean meats and foods with increased content easily digestible proteins - the basis daily ration. It is not recommended to eat foods containing fiber (fruits, vegetables), carbohydrates, and flour products. In addition, GMS Clinic specialists advise paying attention to the temperature of food: excessively hot or cold food can also negatively affect the development of the disease;
2. Individual selection of antibiotics for use in which it is necessary to take into account the sensitivity of the internal intestinal microflora. Most often combined with drugs that restore internal microflora;
3. Infusion therapy- introduction of fluid into the body to stabilize the water-salt balance, eliminate dehydration, and replenish carbohydrate reserves;
4. Astringents to hold the stool together and prevent further dehydration. Depending on the general condition, these can be either herbal preparations or the latest synthesized preparations;
5. Most often prescribed as maintenance therapy taking corticosteroid hormones.

Forecasts

As with any other disease, the longer you delay treatment of colitis, the more the disease will progress and the more difficult it will be to cure. If initially 25% of patients have a chance of full recovery body without the use of surgical interventions, then after a few years this percentage decreases significantly, and about 30% of patients already have total colitis.

In more than half of patients with total colitis, it is not possible to achieve complete remission, while early consultation with a doctor significantly increases the chances of recovery.

If you find yourself with symptoms of colitis, it is better to contact a specialist and get examined. Agree, it’s better if the tests don’t give positive result rather than delaying treatment and undergoing long-term rehabilitation while delaying visiting a specialist.

Is it possible to cure nyc completely? This question worries everyone who has been diagnosed with this. As shown medical practice It is impossible to completely get rid of diseases that are chronic.

Collapse

Since nonspecific ulcerative colitis refers to chronic disease It is completely impossible to get rid of this disease. But, despite this, you should not refuse drug treatment. At the first symptoms in mandatory need to apply for medical care. Even if it is not possible to completely get rid of the disease, the doctor, after carrying out diagnostic procedures will select not only the necessary medications, but also certain treatment tactics. Only if all conditions are met is it possible to control the pathology.

It is impossible to completely cure chronic ulcerative colitis, but with proper treatment the pathology can be controlled

If you ignore the ulcer for a long time, this will undoubtedly lead to the development of serious complications, which in some cases can even lead to death.

When such a diagnosis is made, only correctly prescribed treatment and strict adherence to all rules will help stop attacks and prevent complications.

With the development of nonspecific ulcerative colitis, a person may experience completely different symptoms, which have varying degrees expression and form. The main symptoms that indicate the development of this pathology are:

• intoxication of the body, which can manifest itself as fever, vomiting, dehydration;
• pain appears, which is accompanied by bleeding from the rectum;
• bloating;
• constipation followed by diarrhea;
• lack of appetite;
• the appearance of mucus impurities or;
• unreasonable weight loss;
• increased body temperature;
• the appearance of a rash on the body;
• joint pain
• frequent false urge to defecate.

Pay attention! Many signs can appear even before clear symptoms of colitis appear; everything will completely depend on the severity of the pathology and the speed of its development.

Disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract: constipation followed by diarrhea

These are not all the symptoms that indicate the development of nonspecific ulcerative colitis, but at the first manifestation of at least one sign, you need to immediately consult a doctor, since even the slightest delay can lead to the development of quite serious complications.

Reasons for the development of pathology

The exact cause that could trigger the development of such a pathology as ulcer has not yet been identified, but there are still certain factors that negatively affect general condition the body and the immune response, and in turn lead to pathology.

These factors include:

• genetic predisposition:
• various infections that penetrate the intestines;
• reduced immunity;
• long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs medicines;
• food allergies;
• stressful situations.

Regardless of what reason contributed to the onset of the disease, everyone who receives such a diagnosis asks the only question of how to cure ulcerative colitis. This pathology occurs in stages. First of all, the rectum is damaged, and then the membrane and mucous layer are subjected to this process.

During the course of the disease, it also has an impact depending on individual characteristics person. For example, if a person is calm and balanced, then the disease is less active and the risk of complications is eliminated. Factors such as nervousness and systematic stress conditions have an adverse effect and the pathology begins to progress more rapidly, and various kinds of complications begin to develop.

In order to correctly make a diagnosis, first of all, the doctor conducts an external examination of the patient and only then additional laboratory and instrumental tests are prescribed.

Laboratory tests include:

• change general analysis blood and urine;

TO instrumental studies include:

• sigmoidoscopy;
• colonoscopy;
• irrigoscopy.

It is necessary to take a blood and urine test

Thanks to all these examinations, the doctor can compare all the signs and find out the overall picture of the disease. Only in this case does it become possible to really put correct diagnosis and find out the cause of the disease. And since treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis, only in this case can you choose truly correct and comprehensive therapy.

Anyone who has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis has wondered whether it can be cured forever. As medical practice shows, getting rid of such a disease, especially since it is chronic pathology It will not work out irrevocably, but this does not mean at all that the treatment will not bring any results.

In order to take the first step towards recovery, you need to see a doctor and go through everything necessary research. After this, the doctor, depending on each individual situation, will prescribe the appropriate treatment. Mainly used to treat this pathology following methods therapy:

• diet, which is rightfully considered the basis of this type of treatment;
• drug treatment;
• surgical intervention.

I would like to draw attention to the fact that such a pathology as ulcerative colitis is considered an autoimmune disease and therefore its treatment must be continuous for quite a long time.

Treatment must be systematic and constant

The goal of treatment with medications is to prolong the period of remission, as well as prevent the development of new exacerbations. But, unfortunately, with this method of treatment it is impossible to talk about a complete recovery, since the pathology is considered incurable.

Regarding proper nutrition and compliance with the development of such pathology, this will primarily help prolong the period of remission. If the patient experiences a period of exacerbation, then it is recommended to completely avoid eating for a while. During this period, it is even forbidden to drink water. In order to support the body during a period of lack of nutrition, the patient is prescribed droppers, which are able to provide the body with the supply of all nutrients and liquids.

If the patient is diagnosed with a mild or moderate stage of the disease, then a certain diet is recommended, in which the following foods are allowed:

• lean meat and fish;
• porridge;
• pasta;
• biscuits;
• white bread;
• vegetables;
• mushrooms;
• eggs and dishes prepared from them;
• berries and fruits, which can be consumed both raw and prepared into compotes;
• green.

It is necessary to consume foods that have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract

Despite the fact that the list of permitted foods is quite long, there is also the fact that eating food with such a disease is strictly prohibited. These products include:

• fatty, salty, smoked, spicy dishes;
• cabbage, peppers, beets and onions;
• carbonated drinks;
• alcohol.

Among other things, it is recommended to completely abandon all bad habits. Also, when preparing a diet, it is best to seek help from your doctor, who can do this professionally and taking into account all the characteristics of the patient’s body.

As for surgical intervention, for its implementation there must be quite serious indications, which include:

• various intestinal complications;
• toxic dilatation;
• formation of a malignant tumor;
• abscess;
• intestinal obstruction;
• lack of visible results during drug treatment;
• presence of intestinal fistulas;
• formation of polyps;
• dysplasia of the colon mucosa.

Formation of polyps in the intestines

If the patient has at least one of the complications listed above, then treatment for surgery is taken. Surgical intervention carried out in the following ways:

• palliative surgery is performed;
• carried out radical surgery, the essence of which is complete removal large intestine.

Nonspecific ulcerative colitis is rightfully considered not curable disease. But if you follow all the doctor’s recommendations and follow a diet, you can not only stop its spread, but also prevent exacerbation.

If drug treatment does not lead to the desired results and the ulcer worsens even more, then the answer to the question of what to do in this case is to perform an operation.

Regardless of the chosen method of combating pathology, it is recommended to adhere to a certain diet throughout life, as well as systematically conduct preventive studies. The most important thing in this matter is complete trust between the doctor and the patient.

Conclusion

Nonspecific ulcerative colitis is considered a rather severe pathology, treatment of which should begin immediately and be monitored by the attending physician. Only in this case can you, although not get rid of this disease, prevent its further spread and development of complications. It is also worth considering the fact that in no case should you hesitate and self-medicate when the first symptoms appear. The pathology progresses quite quickly and leads to the fact that over time it is difficult to treat.
