Chronic ulcerative colitis usually refers to ulcerative colitis, and complications include intestinal bleeding, toxic megacolon, colon cancer, etc.

Complications of chronic ulcerative colitis

1. If

patients with ulcerative colitis with intestinal bleeding are in serious condition and are not treated in time, it can cause damage to the intestinal muscular tissue, causing blood vessels to rupture and bleed, causing symptoms of massive bleeding.

2. If the

patient's condition deteriorates rapidly and toxic substances enter the blood circulation through the damaged intestinal mucosa, a toxic reaction may occur, thereby causing toxic megacolon.
