Ischaemic colitis is responsible for more than half of the presentations of gastrointestinal ischaemia and develops due to an interruption of intestinal blood flow. Risk factors include increasing age and conditions associated with decreased perfusion. Infrequently, ischaemic colitis may develop in young females prescribed oral contraceptives. Here, we present a case of ischaemic colitis secondary to oral contraceptives that resolved with medication discontinuation.
Ischaemic colitis is due to insufficiency of intestinal blood flow and is responsible for half of the cases of gastrointestinal ischaemia.Oral contraceptives have an increased odd of 1.05 predisposing development of ischaemic colitis.Symptoms typically resolve with removal of the oral contraceptive.
缺血性结肠炎占胃肠道缺血病例的一半以上，是由于肠道血流中断所致。危险因素包括年龄增长以及与灌注减少相关的疾病。口服避孕药的年轻女性很少会发生缺血性结肠炎。在此，我们报告一例口服避孕药继发缺血性结肠炎的病例，停药后病情缓解。
缺血性结肠炎是由于肠道血流不足引起的，占胃肠道缺血病例的一半。口服避孕药使缺血性结肠炎发病的几率增加1.05倍。症状通常在停用口服避孕药后缓解。
