A member asked:
What is transient inflammation of the colon and what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colitis: Inflammation of the colon may be caused by infection or autoimmune diseases like ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease. The latter two conditions are more chronic and the infectious causes tend to be more temporary and may completely clear up without permanent damage after successful treatment.
