Xu Bingyi, a gastroenterological and hepatobiliary physician at Li Annan Hospital in Tainan, Taiwan, said that the public is relatively unfamiliar with this disease, which is a kind of self. The incidence of immune diseases in Asians is very low,https://www.shineful.com.tw/ma52.htm, but Prime Minister Abe has been tortured by this disease for 50 years. It may not be cured in his life. Some patients even have to run the toilet 20 or 30 times a day. Sense of security" also explained that Prime Minister Abe often used the toilet when he was working, but the disease did not vomit blood. There may be other reasons.

Abe left his job because of this illness. Many people have questions, "Is this the same as gastric ulcer?" and "Is there such a serious need to resign?"

Xu Bingyi, deputy dean of Annan Hospital, said that ulcerative colitis is completely different from gastric ulcers caused by stress or improper diet. The former is an autoimmune disease. The cause is that the immune cells in the body are disordered, attacking their own large intestine, and causing inflammation of the large intestine. And a disease of ulcers. The incidence rate is about 1.2 to 20.3 per 100,000 people per year. It occurs more frequently in Europeans and Americans, and less frequently in Asians. It is still unclear what causes the disordered immune system, but studies have shown that it may be related to bad intestinal bacteria, genetics, high-oil and high-sugar diet and smoking.

He said that diarrhea and bloody stools are the two major symptoms of ulcerative colitis, which is why Abe sometimes has to use the toilet frequently at work.

It is generally recommended that after 8 years of onset, colonoscopy should be performed regularly to screen for colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions.

In terms of treatment, ulcerative colitis cannot be cured at present. It can only be cured by drugs (including aminosalicylic acid, steroids, immunosuppressive agents, biological agents), stool transplantation and changes in eating habits to improve symptoms and promote colorectal ulcer healing. This is why Abe has been onset since he was 17 years old and has been tortured for 50 years and has never recovered.
