A colostomy, where part of the colon is brought through the abdomen so that stool can be eliminated into a bag worn on the abdomen, is often not needed. A partial colectomy is almost never done for people with ulcerative colitis, because the disease will often recur in the healthy section of the colon that is left. In Crohn's disease, there is also a risk of the disease recurring in the colon, and more surgery is needed in some cases.
The term alcoholism is commonly used amongst laypeople, but the word is poorly defined. The WHO calls alcoholism a term of long-standing use and variable meaning, and use of the term was disfavored by a 1979 WHO expert committee.
Problem drinking is generally defined as, a person who uses alcohol in ways that are harmful to themselves or to others. People who are problem drinkers may have the disease of alcoholism or may drink in ways that lead to health or safety problems for themselves or others.here is no cure for alcoholism but just as there are ways to manage diabetes, alcoholics can learn to manage their illness as well, but only if willing and that decision can come only from the alcoholic.
