Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory lesion caused by various factors in the mucosa and submucosa of the intestine. The treatment of UC is difficult due to its unstable condition, long course and difficult to cure, and even induces cancer. In this paper, we will focus on three periods of UC, the initial phase (mild and moderate), the active phase and the remission phase, and explore the core pathogenesis of different stages of UC disease development from the perspective of traditional medicine, in order to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic thinking for the clinical treatment of UC by combining Chinese and Western medicine.
