A member asked:
Which problems can ulcerative colitis cause later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
THe same as: In the younger years. Pain, bleeding, anemia, dehydtation, obstruction perforation. All of this are less well tolerated as we get into the older age groups. Properly treated and controlled ulcerative colitis in remission, does not increase your problems in the future.
