What Is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting your large intestine (colon) and/or rectum. The lining of the colon forms ulcers that cause severe abdominal pain and the need to have frequent bowel movements. These symptoms aren't known to occur at once but rather develop over time. UC can develop at any age but is more often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 35.


UC affects men and women equally. Unfortunately, the causes of ulcerative colitis are unknown, but similar to Chron's disease, heredity and a malfunctioning immune system can contribute to its development. Experts suggest that one's surrounding environment could contribute as well. Other risk factors for UC include age, race or ethnicity (high risk for those of Ashkenazi Jewish decent), and family history
