Causes & Risk Factors
Although the exact cause of ulcerative colitis remains unclear, a combination of genetic, immune system, and lifestyle factors may contribute.
Immune System Malfunction
The body’s defense system attacks healthy cells in the colon, triggering inflammation.
Environmental Triggers
Factors like pollution, diet changes, and certain infections may worsen the condition.
Family History
Having a close relative with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease increases your risk significantly.
Age & Ethnicity
Most common in young adults and slightly higher in some ethnic groups, especially those with European ancestry.
