Prevention
By Mayo Clinic staffThere's no proven way to prevent ischemic colitis. But the good news is that the majority of those who have it recover quickly and never have another episode.
Still, it makes sense to avoid a drug that may have caused ischemic colitis in the past. And if you have underlying conditions associated with a risk of ischemic colitis — including heart disease and high blood pressure — make sure you're receiving ongoing treatment. Your doctor may recommend that you:
- Stop smoking
- Take cholesterol-lowering medication
- Treat high blood pressure
- Exercise regularly
