Ulcerative colitis symptoms ranked by votes
Ulcerative colitis symptoms can vary widely depending on how severe the inflammation is and where it’s happening in the digestive tract. Common signs include diarrhea, often with blood or pus, abdominal pain and cramping, rectal bleeding, urgency to use the bathroom, and sometimes an inability to go despite feeling the urge. In some cases, the disease can have periods of remission where symptoms improve or disappear altogether for a while.
