Ulcerative colitis is caused mostly by a viral infection. For example, severe infection in mucosa may lead to this condition. It is an inflammatory bowel disease that leads to the formation of sores in the digestive tract. It affects the innermost lining of the colon and rectum. In some chronic conditions, ulcerative colitis can be life-threatening.
The exact cause of ulcerative colitis is still unknown, but it is exacerbated by stress. Balsalazide, mesalamine, olsalazine, and sulfasalazine are the main medications used to treat ulcerative colitis. For permanent cure, the only possible method is the surgical removal of the colon.
