A member asked:
What are the complecations of ulcerative collitis which i ve since 17 years ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: Bleeding, perforation (hole in the colon), toxic colitis, mega colon, severe diarrhea causing dehydration, and malignancy. If the disease is greater than 10 yrs and diffuse compared to segmental, the chances of malignancy are higher. These pts require frequent colonoscopies. Its very important to follow up with your GI doctor on a regular basis.
