Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, lifelong inflammatory condition of the colon, and there is currently no permanent medical cure for it. However, medications can effectively control the disease and help maintain long-term remission without symptoms. The only way to completely eliminate the disease is surgery to remove the entire colon (colectomy), which is usually done only in severe or treatment-resistant cases.

Your symptoms may indicate a mild flare-up or incomplete remission of your ulcerative colitis. You should consult your doctor or gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation, which may include stool tests or a colonoscopy to check for inflammation. Your maintenance treatment may need to be adjusted, and dietary changes or probiotics might also help. Seeking early medical attention can prevent your condition from worsening.

Treatment for ulcerative colitis depends on the severity and extent of your condition. Mild to moderate cases are typically managed with aminosalicylates, such as mesalazine, to reduce inflammation and maintain remission. Moderate to severe disease may require corticosteroids, immunomodulators, or advanced biologic and small-molecule therapies. In very severe or treatment-resistant cases, surgery to remove the colon (colectomy) may be considered as a last resort. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment after assessing your disease activity and response to previous treatments.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition that currently has no complete cure, so it usually requires long-term maintenance therapy to prevent flare-ups. Medications, particularly aminosalicylates (such as Vegaz OD Tablet), are often continued for a long time to maintain remission and prevent relapse. You should consult your doctor or gastroenterologist before stopping or changing any medication, as abruptly discontinuing treatment can significantly increase the risk of a severe flare-up.
