What is Colitis
The term colitis is made from two words col means Colon ( Intestine) and itis means inflammation. Therefore colitis means inflammation of the colon. This inflammation of colon may be associated with different conditions such as enteritis, proctotis or both.
Colitis is classified into three types.
1. Ulcerative colitis
2. Crohn’s disease
3. Intermiadiate Colitis
Colitis from Ayurvedic treatment perpective
In Ayurvedic treatment, the illness colitis is comparable to raktaj atisar. This is special condition of pittaj atisaar.
When a person having pittaj atisar ( diarhhea) continue to take diet rich in sour, salty and spicy taste, then the pitta dosha gets more aggravted. This aggravated pitta makes the blood impure. In this condition the stool is mixed with blood , sometimes there is only blood passing through anus.
Dosha : Pitta dominanat vata predominant.
Dushya : Rasa ( nutrition), rakth (blood), mamsa( muscle), purish( stool)
Strotas ( Channel ) : Annavah strotas ( digestive tract), Purishvah strotas ( elemantary tract)
What are the Causes of Colitis
It can be caused by various factors, including:
Food habits: Persons having habits of eating sour, salty and spicy food are more prone to get inflammation of the colon.
Weak Digestion : When food is not properly digested , this leads to formation of Ama in the digestive tract. This Ama is responsible for inflammation in the colon.
Infections : This is one of the most common cause of colitis. Bacterial infections such as salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter jejuni, as well as viral infections and parasites.
Alcohol consumption: All types of alcohol are Tikshna ( piercing) and are known to cause inflammation in the colon.
Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy for certain types of cancer are known to cause colitis.
Ishemia of colon: When there is lack of blood supply to the colon it leads to inflammation of the colon . This is known as ishemic colitis. This type is very commonly seen in people older than 60 years.
Certain medications: Long term use of certain drugs, including aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( pain killers), and proton pump inhibitors ( Antacid) may cause colitis
Symptoms Of Colitis

- Frequent Diarhhea. Frequent loose bowel movements, sometimes accompanied by blood or pus.
- Weakness

- Loss of Apetite. This is a very common symptom.
- Weight Loss : Because of frequent dairhhea and lack of apetite there is weight loss in people suffereing from colitis
Complications
Perforation :
Chronic inflammation weakens your colon walls, making them more likely to rupture. An ulcer in your colon may wear a hole all the way through. This can cause bacteria from your colon to infect your abdominal cavity (peritonitis) and possibly your bloodstream (septicemia), which would be especially dangerous. Septicemia can lead to sepsis.
Toxin Accumulation : Severe inflammation can cause the walls of your colon to widen and interfere with its natural muscle contractions that is peristalsis. This can trap food and gas in your colon. Obstruction leads to painful abdominal distension and an increased risk of rupture.
Increased risk of colon cancer : Long term inflammation is associated with cellular changes in your colon wall that can sometimes progress to cancerous changes. The risk increases rapidly after the first decade of chronic colitis.
