Inflammation and ulceration of the colon and rectum.
a chronic condition in which ulcers occur on the mucous membrane lining of the colon (the end of the large intestine) and the rectum
A type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which only affects the colon and always involves the rectum. The inflammation will extend proximally to varying degrees and may involve the entire colon. Surgery is curative but a last resort due to the high degree of morbidity. Long-standing UC predisposes the patient to develop colorectal carcinoma.
A type of inflammatory bowel disease. In this condition, the colon is inflamed over a long period of time. This increases a person's risk of developing colon cancer, so starting colorectal cancer screening earlier and doing these tests more often is recommended.

chronic inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum that causes lesions and ulcers in the lining of the colon

a serious disease that causes ulcers and irritation in the inner lining of the colon and rectum.
A disease of the bowel (colon). The lining of the bowel becomes inflamed causing pain, bleeding and watery diarrhea. The disease is a chronic condition. This means it is not really curable but it tends to come and go. People who have had ulcerative colitis for a long time (more than 10 years) have a higher chance of developing cancer of the bowel than people without this disease.

(UHL-sur-ra-tiv ko-LI-tus) One of the two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease in which chronic inflammation of the colon's inner lining produces ulcers. People with this condition-who often have abdominal pain, cramps and loose discharges of pus, blood and mucus from the bowel-are at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer.
