About the Case Presentation
Ulcerative colitis, a long-lasting inflammatory bowel disease, needs a custom treatment plan to handle symptoms and stop complications. Doctors now use anti-inflammatory drugs drugs that weaken the immune system, and biologics to keep inflammation in check and maintain remission. New treatment options, like Janus kinase blockers, give new hope to patients who don’t respond to standard treatments. Changes in lifestyle dealing with stress, and tweaking diet also help manage symptoms. Regular check-ups are key to see if treatments work and to change them as needed aiming to boost the quality of life for people with ulcerative colitis.
