Ischemic colitis is generally considered a disease of the elderly. The causes of ischemic colitis include low-flow states due to cardiac dysfunction or hypovolemia and certain medications including estrogen. Here we report a case of ischemic colitis in a 26-year-old woman. She had no specific medical history except taking oral-contraceptives for a long time. The mechanism of estrogen-induced ischemic colitis is not clearly understood. But we recommend that oral-contraceptives should be considered as a cause of ischemic colitis in young women.
缺血性结肠炎通常被认为是一种老年疾病。缺血性结肠炎的病因包括心脏功能障碍或血容量不足导致的低血流状态以及某些药物，包括雌激素。在此，我们报告一例26岁女性患缺血性结肠炎的病例。除长期服用口服避孕药外，她没有特殊的病史。雌激素诱导缺血性结肠炎的机制尚不清楚。但我们建议，口服避孕药应被视为年轻女性缺血性结肠炎的一个病因。
