Similarly, some kinds of benign polyps may have a high predilection to go on to cancer in future and thus are called premalignant. Ischemic colitis is inflammation of the colon as a result of reduction of blood flow to a particular segment of the colon. It is analogous to heart attack. In most cases, it is mild and resolves on conservative treatment without any sequelae. In a minority of patients, the inflammation may become life threatening and may require surgical intervention.
Ischemic colitis occurs due to a disease process causing a reduction of blood supply to colon.
It therefore seems reasonable that the attacks of ischemic colitis should keep recurring. However, what makes sense is not necessarily always true. In most cases, the attacks of ischemic colitis do not recur. So folks, what do you think after having read all of the fact and fiction regarding our digestive health. Although we do not understand our digestive system completely, our understanding is much better than it used to be.
