Ischemic Colitis

We will continue our discussion on ischemic episodes with a focus on ischemic colitis. We will examine what disrupts blood flow to the colon, leading to symptoms such as cramping abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and urgency to defecate. We will delve into risk factors, including underlying vascular disease, extreme exercise, and in some cases, colonoscopies. A thorough medical history and physical examination, along with an x-ray to check for any free air, are essential. We will also discuss various treatments depending on the severity of the condition.
