A woman experienced severe symptoms like blood in her stool and frequent bathroom visits for years before being properly diagnosed. At age 21, after a colonoscopy, she learned she had severe ulcerative colitis, a chronic disease that inflames the colon and causes serious illness.
Key Facts
The woman first noticed blood in her stool at 16 but did not seek help soon.
Her symptoms worsened over many years, including nausea, fatigue, and going to the bathroom up to 30 times a day.
Doctors initially misdiagnosed her, blaming hemorrhoids, food poisoning, or pregnancy.
At 21, a colonoscopy diagnosed her with severe pan-ulcerative colitis, a condition that inflames the colon.
She was prescribed steroids and more than 20 pills daily to control the disease.
The diagnosis was emotionally difficult because there is no known cure, meaning she must manage symptoms for life.
The illness greatly affected her quality of life, causing isolation and impacting her role as a mother.
A new doctor later showed concern about the damage to her colon; she refused an ostomy surgery, preferring to manage without it.
