Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon, which can be caused by various factors including infection, autoimmune disorders (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), and certain medications. The treatment for colitis depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation in the colon. n cases where medication and lifestyle changes do not effectively manage colitis or if there are complications, surgery may be necessary. Surgical options range from removing a specific portion of the colon to complete removal of the colon (colectomy). Surgical interventions are more commonly used in cases of severe ulcerative colitis or when other treatments have failed.
