Abdominal Pain
In addition to cramping due to diarrhea, people with ulcerative colitis might experience pain in the central or lower abdomen. It is caused by the ulceration in the mucosal layers of your bowel or large intestine. In most cases, you might feel it vague because there are not many nerve endings in those areas. Many people often report it as a mild to a moderate burning sensation. While this symptom is quite similar to other forms of inflammatory bowel disease, there are some differences in the affected areas. Even defecation does not help relieve the pain. [3]
