The correct treatment approach for constipation-type ulcerative colitis, rather than the diarrhea type
The Story of an 11-Year Patient
Hello. This is HanStep Korean Medicine Clinic, which has been researching and treating ulcerative colitis since 2007. The case we are introducing today is a patient in their 60s who, since their diagnosis in 2015, had experienced recurring exacerbations and improvements despite receiving over 10 years of concurrent Western medical treatment.
Main Symptoms at Initial Visit
- Bowel Movement Status: 8-20 bowel movements per day, hard pebble-like stools
- Discomfort Symptoms: Urgency, bloody stools, mucus stools, tenesmus (9-10 out of 10)
- Underlying Conditions: Hepatitis B (30 years), progressing liver cirrhosis
Treatment Progress and Numerical Changes
With a constipation medication prescription tailored for a patient with colonic hypofunction, rapid improvement was seen within 1 month.
Initial Visit
Diagnosed with constipation-type ulcerative colitis with reduced colonic motility, and personalized treatment began.
