Ulcerative Colitis Symptoms

Saturday, February 06, 2010

What are the symptoms of ulcerative colitis? The symptoms of ulcerative colitis can be quite severe, scary, and can create further stress in an individual. When calling or visiting your doctor regarding any of these ulcerative colitis symptoms, be sure to not skip any information, and give full detail. While this information seems private and personal, it is very important that your physician or practitioner knows all the symptoms so they can provide the most accurate diagnosis possible.

Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis:

  • Rectal bleeding
  • Bloody stools
  • Mucus in stools
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Weight Loss
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting (in severe cases)
  • Loss of Appetite
  • Fever
  • Exhaustion or Lethargy
  • Anemia

If you think you have ulcerative colitis, or think you have a flare-up, any one of these symptoms, or even a combination of symptoms may be present. It is important to consult with your physician immediately upon noticing any symptoms, so that preventative care can be given. Waiting to see if ulcerative colitis will go away on its own can lead to further sickness and worsening of the condition.
