The difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; they are different illnesses.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are both classified as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but they are different diseases.

 

 

Ulcerative colitis primarily causes inflammation only in the colon,

It begins at the workplace and tends to spread throughout the entire colon.

Ulcerative colitis mainly causes inflammation and ulcers on the inner wall of the intestine.

As a result, symptoms such as diarrhea, bloody stool, and abdominal pain appear.

 

Crohn's disease is a condition that can cause inflammation throughout the entire digestive tract, including the small intestine and colon.

In particular, Crohn's disease causes inflammation throughout the entire layer of the intestine, leading to deep progression of inflammation.

In severe cases, the intestine may become narrowed or obstructed.

Symptoms of Crohn's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.

Inflammation can also occur in other areas such as the skin or eyes.

 

 

Both conditions are chronic and difficult to cure, but

There are differences in symptoms and the affected areas.
