Recently, a 28-year-old patient suffering from chronic ulcerative colitis successfully underwent a total colorectal resection and ileal pouch anastomosis, curing in one fell swoop the stubborn disease that had plagued her for nearly six years. The patient, Wen Ying, came from Gu’an County, Langfang City, Hebei Province. In 2003, she was in her fourth year of college when she started to have blood in her stool, which she did not take seriously because she was facing graduation and job hunting. Subsequently, the blood in her stool began to worsen, and she had to have blood in her stool every two to three hours. In February 2004, the result of a colonoscopy at a hospital in Beijing was “ulcerative colitis (total colon type, severe type)”. During her hospitalization, she was treated with large amounts of glucocorticoids and even enemas with large doses of hormones, and she had blood in her stool as many as 17 or 8 times a day. Due to the high dose of hormones, severe protein depletion and bleeding, the original beautiful Wen Ying became puffy and old, and her condition never improved. The stoma has become a very small hole and has to be propped up with a finger every three or four days. Ulcerative colitis is a diffuse inflammatory disease of the mucosa of the colon and rectum, often manifested as unexplained, sometimes bad blood diarrhea, which can affect people of any age, but most people diagnosed with the disease are younger than 30 years old. In the past, the treatment of chronic ulcerative colitis was often conservative medical treatment, often difficult to achieve the purpose of the cure, and only when a large number of cases of uncontrollable bloody stools or intestinal obstruction were referred to surgical treatment, but at this time the patient was already in a situation of severe malnutrition, which posed a great risk to surgery. This is exactly what happened in Wen Ying’s case, and the prolonged disease made her very weak.” For this reason, experts recommend that those patients with ulcerative colitis who have had multiple relapses after medical treatment should consider early surgical treatment, which not only reduces the risk of surgery but also reduces post-operative complications. Now, Wen Ying, who is able to get out of bed and walk and can eat fluids, said, “There is fecal discharge from the stoma, and although the wound still hurts, it has never been as easy as it is now in the past few years.”
