How to get chronic colitis checked

If chronic colitis is suspected, blood tests, barium colonography, colonoscopy, etc. can be performed.

1. Blood tests

If the white blood cell count is found to be elevated, be alert to the presence of inflammation in the colon, which may be caused by bacterial infection.

2. Barium colonography

In this examination, the doctor will inject barium into the colon and perform X-ray examination to obtain images of the colon to help examine the morphology and lesions of the colon.

3. Colonoscopy can

directly observe the condition of the colon mucosa by inserting a flexible tubular probe into the rectum and colon to detect inflammation, ulcers, polyps and other abnormalities.
