What other diseases can chronic colitis cause

summary

The harm of chronic colitis itself is relatively large, and it is easy to induce other diseases, which needs to be dealt with in time. Let's see what other diseases chronic colitis can cause.

What other diseases can chronic colitis cause

First of all: toxic coliectasis occurs in the acute active phase, with an incidence of about 2%. It is caused by inflammation affecting the muscular layer and intermuscular nerve plexus of the colon, resulting in low tension of the intestinal wall, segmental paralysis, and accumulation of intestinal contents and gas, resulting in acute coliectasis. The intestinal wall is thin, and the lesions are more common in the sigmoid colon or transverse colon. The predisposing factors include hypokalemia, barium enema and the use of anticholinergic drugs or opiates. The clinical manifestations included rapid deterioration of the disease, obvious poisoning symptoms, abdominal distension, tenderness, rebound pain, weakened or disappeared bowel sounds, increased white blood cells, widening of intestinal cavity and disappearance of colonic pouch. Intestinal perforation is easy to occur, and the mortality rate can reach 11% - 50%.

Secondly, ulcer perforation is easy to cause acute diffuse peritonitis on the basis of colon dilation.

Finally: the occurrence of canceration is related to the time limit and scope of the disease. The longer the course of the disease is, the more serious it is, the easier it is to become cancerous. The incidence of colitis is about 5%, which is 10 times higher than that without colitis. It is more common in patients with colitis involving the whole colon, onset in childhood and history of more than 10 years.

matters needing attention

Diet should be regular, regular and quantitative, avoid overeating, reduce gastrointestinal burden. If the caloric intake is insufficient, it can be supplemented by the method of dry thin collocation. Pay attention to the acid-base balance. When the stomach is too sour, milk, soybean milk or steamed bread with alkali can be used to neutralize the stomach acid.
