Hello doctor! Currently, my family has a patient with ulcerative colitis for about 9 months and then went to the doctor and took medicine but the condition only partially improved. Currently taking both western medicine and drinking leaf juice because someone told me, but I still have bowel movements about 4-5 times a day and every time I go there is bloody mucus. So the doctor asked me, my family members are being treated for ulcerative colitis but still have a lot of diarrhea with bloody mucus, how to treat it completely? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “I am being treated for ulcerative colitis but still have a lot of bowel movements with bloody mucus, how to treat it completely? ” as follows:
The ulcerative colitis your family member has been diagnosed with may be part of the inflammatory bowel disease group (which includes bleeding ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). Depending on the condition of the disease and the extent of damage to the intestinal mucosa, the doctor will choose the appropriate drug. If your family member has been examined and treated according to a prescription and finds that the disease does not improve, you need to take the patient to the hospital for re-examination (need to bring the results of the previous examination) so that the doctor can monitor and adjust the medicine. voluntarily drink more cigarettes. This is a group of autoimmune diseases that require long-term treatment and monitoring.
If you still have questions about this issue, you can take your family members to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
