| Chronic Ulcerative Colitis is a medical condition of the colon (large intestine). Ulcerative colitis occurs when the body's immune system attacks the cells in the lining of the large intestine, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. Patients with ulcerative colitis often experience pain, frequent bowel movements, bloody stools, and loss of appetite. Ileostomy surgery is a treatment option for patients who do not respond to medical or dietary therapies for ulcerative colitis. |
