What are the symptoms of ulcerative colitis
summary
These days, I always see blood stains in the stool when I go to the toilet. It seems that there is a bit of blood in the stool, and my stomach always aches inexplicably. So I went to the hospital for examination and said that I had ulcerative colitis. Now I have taken medicine for treatment. Let's talk about the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.
What are the symptoms of ulcerative colitis
Symptom 1: abdominal pain, diarrhea, stool mucus. Abdominal pain is mainly around umbilicus and left lower abdomen, which is often relieved after defecation. Stool is mushy, not much each time, or only a small amount of mucus. Or abdominal distension, mainly on the right side of the navel and the whole abdomen. The feces were "sheep dung" like, dry and hard granular feces. Although some patients have thin and soft stools, their stools are sticky, which is called "squeezing toothpaste". Or constipation and diarrhea alternate.
Symptom 2: ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory process limited to colonic mucosa and submucosa. The disease usually occurs in the sigmoid colon and rectum, and can also extend to the descending colon or even the whole colon. The pathology is long and often recurrent. This disease can be seen in any age group, but it is most common in 20-30 years old.
Symptom 3: bloody diarrhea or purulent stool, 2-4 times a day, severe cases of bloody stool, more than 10 times a day. May have the left lower abdomen or the lower abdomen paroxysmal spasmodic angina pectoris, accompanies the defecation meaning or in urgent aftereffect. Occasionally nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, fever and other symptoms.
matters needing attention
Once the patients with chronic ulcerative colitis eat the food which is easy to induce the disease, it will lead to the attack of the disease. If the treatment is not timely, the disease will worsen, or some other diseases will be induced. In addition to active treatment, the diet of chronic ulcerative colitis is also very important.
