What is Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis?

Colitis means “inflammation of the colon, and Ulcerative Colitis is the more advanced form of Colitis. The symptom that indicates Ulcerative Colitis is blood in the stools. Ulcerative Colitis is usually only in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Colitis is one of the most common inflammatory bowel disorders, commonly referred to as IBDs. Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis symptoms can be mild, moderate, severe, or extreme.

Colitis can occur anywhere along the six feet of our colon. The colon is divided into three sections; the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon. The last foot or so of our descending colon is called the sigmoid colon. Most of the symptoms related to Colitis seem to occur in the sigmoid colon. See photo below.
