Ulcerative colitis is generally not curable at 3 years, but it can be treated by lifestyle improvement, inflammation control and symptomatic treatment to improve symptoms, control disease flare-ups and prevent complications.
1. Lifestyle intervention: patients should have sufficient rest, adjust their emotions, avoid excessive stress, and eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet, and change to a nutritious, easy-to-digest, slag-free diet when their condition improves.
2. Inflammation control: commonly used drugs are aminosalicylic acid preparations and salicylazosulfapyridine, which can be taken orally, as well as enemas and suppositories; for moderate-to-severe patients, glucocorticosteroids should be used, such as hydrocortisone and methylprednisolone; there are also immunosuppressants, commonly used as azathioprine.
3. Symptomatic treatment: timely correction of water-electrolyte balance disorders; blood transfusion for severe anemia; supplemental albumin for hypoproteinemia.
Ulcerative colitis patients should go to the hospital, under the guidance of doctors. Drugs need to be used under the guidance of a professional physician, not to use drugs at will.
