BK - no issues. Thanks for clarification.
The reason i got confused was - in earlier PR - Leo has mentioned Ulcerative Colitis and Crohns disease - which are severe and need oral dosage. Seems UP is not as severe and impacts less no of patients.
1. Ulcerative Proctitis is the least severe form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, but its symptoms can be quite troublesome.
Nearly 300,000-500,000 Americans suffer from Ulcerative Colitis, of these, about 35% (105,000-175,000) are Ulcerative Proctitis patients like yourself. Unlike Ulcerative Colitis, which is more extensive, Ulcerative Proctitis is confined to the small area of the colon known as the rectum.
Though many patients recover completely from their first attack, most Ulcerative Proctitis patients experience symptoms for the rest of their lives. The disease may affect you constantly.
Ulcerative Proctitis is a chronic disease. It requires regular follow-up examinations by your doctor: long-term use of medication may also be necessary. Fortunately, all this usually can be accomplished without hospitalization.
2. Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon (the large intestine) that is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the colon's innermost lining. Symptoms characteristically include diarrhea (with or without rectal bleeding) and often abdominal pain.
3. Crohn's Disease is a serious inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It predominates in the lower part of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine (colon). In other cases, only the colon is involved. . Sometimes, inflammation also may affect any section (mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, appendix, or anus) of the GI tract.
