Hello, I am a 25-year-old male of Indian descent.  I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2006 affecting both the ascending & descending colons as well as the major part of the intestine.  I got cured after around 8 months of medications and strict diet, but after about 6-7 months of completion i started losing my hair and till date the rate of fall has become very high...few UTIs were also diagnosed 2-3 years ago.  I generally suffer from diarrhea, constipation, gas related issues, also sometimes unable to properly digest.  I have to shave my head to save my hair...can u suggest how i can cure this issue and what the process is?  I want to grow my hair back as well as want to permanently cure this issue
Hi and thanks for the query, The symptoms you experience are very mucChatDoctormonly observed with this disease. Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease. Common Chat Doctor.  The staging to know specific stage or gravity is done with the aid of an examination of the colon and rectum (colonoscopy), microscopy and judged from clinical presentation (signs and symptoms) presented by the patient. I suggest you book an appointment with a gastroenterologist for a proper clinical review and management. Thanks and kind regards. Bain LE, MD
