Can ulcerative colitis heal itself? How to treat it?

Ulcerative colitis has a very obvious erosive effect on the gastrointestinal tract. When an attack occurs, the patient will feel obvious pain. Ulcerative colitis is mostly caused by improper work and rest and diet, such as excessive and long-term drinking, coming home late, going to bed late, etc. Will patients with ulcerative colitis recover on their own? What should they pay attention to in their daily lives?

1. Will ulcerative colitis heal on its own?

Ulcerative colitis is a local manifestation of a systemic disease, which is associated with organ dysfunction, imbalance of yin and yang, stagnation of qi and blood, internal accumulation of dampness and heat, long-term damage to the yin and yang of the spleen and kidneys, and a mixture of cold and heat. The mortality rate of severe cases reached 28.4%, which is similar to the mortality rate of 25.5% reported by Watts abroad. Active treatment is needed, and correct and timely treatment is the basis of recovery. According to years of clinical research by Professor Zhang Lu, an expert at the Chinese Colitis Network, abnormal antibodies in the patient's serum attack intestinal epithelial cells, causing inflammation and necrosis of the intestinal epithelial cells, thereby forming ulcers. Severe cases can lead to ulcers in the entire colon and intestinal necrosis, threatening the patient's life.
