Ulcerative Colitis Treatment Case:
Recovery Through Precision in Diagnostic Causes
Complex cause analysis and the timing of prescriptions are the keys to treating ulcerative colitis.
Medical Record of a Male Patient in His 50s
This is HanStep Korean Medicine Clinic, which has been researching ulcerative colitis since 2007. The patient was diagnosed with proctitis-type ulcerative colitis in December 2024 and visited our clinic in January 2026, accompanied by a 4kg weight loss, diabetes, and hypertension.
The patient was taking Mezavant, but symptoms of the upper digestive tract, such as digestive issues and anal burning, were clearly observed.
Characteristic Symptoms at Time of Visit
- Bowel Pattern: Hard stools rather than diarrhea, and tenesmus (5 out of 10 points)
- Digestive Condition: Gastritis, reflux esophagitis, and loss of appetite
- Notes: Classified as 'upper digestive tract type' with a singular cause
Treatment Progress Summary
When the cause is singular, consistent treatment is possible without changing prescriptions.
Rapid Relief of Symptoms and Reduction of Mezavant
Tenesmus and indigestion improved within 2 weeks of treatment. In March, the fecal calprotectin level dropped below the detection limit, and the dosage of Mezavant was adjusted.
Complete Remission and Discontinuation of Western Medication
In early May, the patient completely stopped taking Mezavant. The results of a colonoscopy in July showed that the rectal inflammation observed 7 months prior had completely disappeared, with clear blood vessels visible; treatment was concluded.
As in this case, when the cause is clearly classified, the treatment process becomes clear. For related Inquiry or questions, please feel free to contact us via our YouTube channel or HanStep Korean Medicine Clinic.
