A member asked:
I was diagnosis wit mild left sided uc,since then in remission,8 months no meds.only used 5-asa. with mild colitis what r my odds of surgery in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IBD: IBD or inflammatory bowel disease can be tricky to deal with - it sounds like you are having a recurrence of colitis after being treated with 5-asa agents? If this is the case- be sure and see your doctor, you may simply need another course of 5-asa agents or a stronger medication. Most patients respond favorably to medicine and do not need surgical intervention. Be sure to see your doc :)
