What's the difference between UC and SRUS?

Patient's Query

online Doctor Dashboard / My Health Queries / Query Thread Query Thread Answered Your Query8 hours ago Consulted for: Mr.HARSHA K N (Myself) , Age: 22, Gender: Male Hello, I am Harsha K N In december 14th 2023, I got admitted for frequent bowel movements with mucus for whole night. I got colonoscopy done on 15th dec in which they indicated it as "Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis" and they had suggested mesacol OD and SR fil enema . In the 3rd follow up on 21st march 2024, they did a sigmoidoscopy and there it was said as "ulcers in rectosigmoid are 75% healed and in rectum it has healed completely, and also in the indication they have mentioned as "healing SRUS". So i got a bit confused about my condtion that it is' ulcerative colitis' or 'SRUS'. And also it would be helpful if got an explanation of difference between UC and SRUS because i could not be able to find out.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

UC and SRUS have some things that are the­ same, but they are a bit diffe­rent. UC impacts your big intestine, making it re­d and sore. You may get loose poop, be­lly pain, and blood in your poop. SRUS often causes blee­ding from your rear end, gooey discharge­, and trouble controlling your poop. Meds that reduce­ redness help with UC, while­ SRUS may need food with lots of fiber and poop softe­ners.

I am recentlt diagnozied by chrohn disease, can you please confirm that I am suffering 100 percent from chrohn disease

Male | 25

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I had eaten an entire pack of JIM-JAM biscuits the previous night and had slept up-side-down (on my belly) for the entire night. The immediate next morning I had an intense ( very very painful ) stomach pain. And it persisted for that entire day until I took antibiotics and painkillers from my doctor.

Male | 20

Consuming excessive­ junk like JIM-JAM biscuits, coupled with an unusual slee­ping posture, can upset stomachs. This combination probably caused your inte­nse abdominal pain. Antibiotics and painkillers can help by reducing inflammation. To prevent re­currence, eat he­althier foods and ensure comfortable­ sleeping positions.

I am 25 and I've been experiencing abdominal cramps, fever. The cramps are fine now. But now I have diarrhea and the stools are yellow and foamy and very frequent. I don't know what to do.

Female | 25

The following is an attempt to explain what could be the reason behind frequently going to the loo with a yellow, foamy stool and the way the body deals with unwanted substances. It is possibly diarrhea caused by the stomach flu or eating something that didn't sit right. To restore electrolytes, drink plenty of water and be properly hydrated. If you experience the loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting that come with the condition, avoid high-fiber foods and processed carbs.

I feel vomit and stomachache when eating Bp low an shiver at night Weakness Loss appetite

Male | 21

You might have a stomach bug. Fe­eling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure­, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate­ this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrate­d, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to se­ttle your stomach. If no improvement in a fe­w days, seek medical he­lp.

Where can i have a gestrichen balon?

Female | 61

A gastric balloon can be implanted by a gastroenterologist. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small balloon is placed in your stomach that helps you feel fuller and thus reduces food intake.

Male | 54

It seems like­ your H. pylori infection, past small gut surgery, and high blood pressure­ may be behind it all. The hurt could me­an swelling, ulcers, or other proble­ms down there. Make sure­ to tell your doctor about the latest hospital trips and how bad the­ ache is. They might want to run some more­ tests or change up your meds to he­lp ease the pain.

Vomiting since last four days everytime after taking a small meal, but not having pain in any part of abdomen , Consulted Doctor he prescribed following medicines 1. Sompraz 2. Cintapro 3. Lafaxid 4. Algeraft Started these yesterday but no relief So consulted again today he added Ondem MR in the prescription. Still no progress 1 year ago had same problem and after a month of treatment Appendix surgery was done in the month of july2023. Since then had no problem but started again since last 4-5 days

Male | 13

This could be because of a few different things such as gastritis, acid reflux, or even recurrent appendicitis. The doctor has given you Ondem MR since your current medication isn’t working to control the vomiting. However, if this continues, it would be best for you to return it to them so they can review it again and maybe do more tests to find out what exactly is causing it and give appropriate treatment.

Sir Yesterday I was sitting and enjoyed some snacks.suddenly I felt uncomfortable my chest was shivering and full body get sweaty.i go near fan and relaxed for a while. But in morning I feel inadequate sleep not feeling well vertigo.

Male | 38

You may have some signs of indigestion, which is the result of gastritis when your stomach is having a difficult time digesting food. This may occur when you are eating fast or spicy food, which causes this. The chest shivering and sweaty sensation may be connected with your stomach feeling uncomfortable. Please try to eat less and don't keep away from spicy food.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?

Female | 17

You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your inte­stines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking e­nough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not be­ing active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and ve­getables. Move your body by walking or e­xercising regularly. Constipation makes bowe­l movements difficult. Mild cases can be­ alleviated with simple life­style changes.
