Ulcerative Colitis Treatment Case:
3 Years of Treatment and 10 Years of Peace

The secret to maintaining health without recurrence even after treatment ends

A Patient's Record from 10 Years Ago

Hello. We are HanStep Korean Medicine Clinic, having researched and treated ulcerative colitis since 2007. Today, we introduce a patient case from 10 years ago that answers the question, "Will it recur after I am cured?"

In March 2016, the patient, then 19 years old, was suffering from 10 to 15 bloody and mucus-filled stools per day, along with abdominal pain. At the time, the patient was using various Western medications, including Humira, but the symptoms were severe.

Initial Status

Status at Time of Visit (2016)

  • Diagnosis: Ulcerative Colitis (Started in 2015)
  • Symptoms: 10-15 bloody and mucus stools per day, severe abdominal pain
  • Medication Taken: Steroids (Solondo), Pentasa, Asacol, Humira (biologics)
  • Cause: A complex combination of 6 factors (upper digestive system, respiratory system, inflammation, edema, abdominal coldness, and weakened colon function)
Insight

10 Years of Results Created by Consistent Treatment

The patient did not give up and continued treatment for a long period of 3 years. As a result, the patient was able to discontinue all Western medications and eventually stop herbal medicine as well. Since then, the patient has maintained health for 7-8 years without Western medicine, managing their condition by taking herbal medicine for only 1-2 months during temporary discomfort caused by overseas business trips, with no recurrence. A recent endoscopy confirmed that the intestinal mucosal state is cleaner than it was 10 years ago—a result incomparable to the past.

Core Treatment Message

Difference Between Western and Korean Medicine

Western medical treatment often leads to recurrence once the medication is stopped, whereas Korean medical treatment restores fundamental balance, enabling long-term health maintenance without recurrence even after stopping treatment.

Importance of Resolving the Root Cause

While addressing the various causes of ulcerative colitis simultaneously takes time, if the direction of treatment is set correctly, you can achieve healthy endoscopic results even 10 years later.
