Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes persistent inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Left inadequately managed, it can significantly affect quality of life and carries long-term risks including severe flares, anaemia, malnutrition, and—after many years of extensive disease—an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. Associated conditions such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, joint inflammation, and skin or eye involvement can also arise in some patients. A thorough assessment, including detailed medical history, blood and stool investigations, and endoscopic evaluation, is essential to understand an individual's disease extent and severity before any treatment plan is recommended.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
