In recent years, intestinal microecology has been proved to be related to ulcerative colitis. Probiotics can regulate intestinal microflora. Ecology has the characteristics of definite curative effect and high safety, and modern research has also confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine has its unique advantages in treating ulcerative colitis. Therefore, this paper summarizes the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine combined with probiotics in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in order to provide reference for clinical treatment and research.
