ShareWhat is Ulcerative Colitis?
Ulcerative colitis (UC) in children is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease of the GI tract that affects the large bowel characterized by remitting and relapsing inflammation of the large intestine. UC, Crohn’s disease (CD), and indeterminate colitis account for the disorders that represent inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs).
In Ayurveda, Acharya Charaka used the word Mahasrotas for the whole digestive system. Factors that affect Jataragni (digestive fire) cause diseases of the digestive tract and various kinds of diseases of the gastrointestinal system have been described. In Ayurveda, it is known that perfect health exists when the three fundamental energies (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) are in balance. Out of these three, when Pitta Dosha gets imbalanced, vitiates intestines and causes Pittaja Grahani.
Causes of Ulcerative Colitis
Etiology is a multifactorial and currently held paradigm that involves a complex interaction of 3 elements – Genetic susceptibility, host immunity, and environmental factors. It may be triggered by a virus or bacteria. This interacts with a child’s immune system and causes an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal wall. Children with ulcerative colitis often have problems with their immune system. People between the ages of 15 and 30 are at the greatest risk of developing this condition. This issue can also start in children and older adults. It affects males and females equally. It also seems to have a strong familial inheritance.
