Symptoms of ISCHEMIC COLITIS


Intermittent lower abdominal pain is one of the key features of this disorder. It usually affects people with vascular disease. They may have similar symptoms in other areas and, therefore, may also have chest pain which is brought on with exercise or calf pain that is precipitated by walking. There may also be rectal bleeding. There may be constipation and changes in stool if strictures of the colon develop at the site of ischemia.
