Inflammation, gas, pain or need to go to the bathroom? Maybe you have colitis, a condition that affects a large part of the population due to the current lifestyle.

The colitis , especially the so-called ulcer, occurs in people of any age, but is more notorious between 15 and 30 years, as well as in those over 60 years, highlights the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases .

Go to the doctor and avoid complications!

If you have two or more symptoms (feeling tired, nausea, loss of appetite, fever, anemia), it is necessary that you go with a specialist to provide you with an adequate treatment. Otherwise, you may have any of these complications.

Rectal hemorrhage

The ulcers that are found in the intestine bleed constantly, causing anemia. Surgery is the most recommended method to stop bleeding.

Dehydration and malabsorption

The large intestine does not absorb fluids and nutrients because of the diarrhea and inflammation that is experienced.
