122 Best Doctors for Colitis Treatment in Coimbatore

Colitis is known as an inflammatory disease of the colon, which is often associated with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and bloating.

The following reasons cause colitis:
- Autoimmune responses or allergy
- Infections
- Ischaemia
- Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease

Colitis is usually diagnosed by the following methods:
- A complete examination of medical history along with visible signs/symptoms
- A thorough physical examination
- Pathology tests, such as blood culture, for measuring blood count
- Urinalysis and kidney function tests
- Stool culture
- Colonoscopy and biopsy
- CT scan

Hospitalisation is required if you have developed complications such as haemorrhage, perforation, sepsis, peritonitis, in colitis and if your normal symptoms are not resolved by medications.

The early detection and subsequent treatment can completely cure colitis. However, the treatment is decided after determining the underlying cause. Furthermore, ulcerative colitis is not completely curable.
