Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the current leader of the conservative New
Japan Party, has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in a press
conference on Tuesday. His diagnosis follows that of his prime minister,
Junichiro Koizumi who suffered from the condition during his tenure as
prime minister.
Shinzo Abe Ulcerative colitis Health issues:
As with many people with ulcerative
colitis, prime minister Shinzo Abe was diagnosed in May this year and
has been treated with a long-term medication in conjunction with
physiotherapy and physical therapy. He was given a clean bill of health
in mid-November. However, he is now suffering from ulcerative colitis
symptoms in the area of his abdominal muscles. Shinzo has
a family history of this disease. His father suffered from the illness
and was diagnosed when he reached the age of 65.
Ulcerative
colitis is an inflammation of the colon. Ulcerative colitis is a
chronic form of the disease and affects millions of people throughout
the world. The disease can cause extreme pain, loss of appetite,
vomiting and diarrhea. Ulcerative colitis cannot be cured but can be
managed.
Ulcerative colitis is diagnosed through medical
tests such as urinalysis, blood test, colonoscopy and biopsy. Diagnosis
is often made after a patient undergoes a series of tests to rule out
other conditions.
Shinzo's medical treatment has included
a long-term medication, which involve a combination of
anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics. Ulcerative colitis drugs such
as Diflucan are usually not used for people with ulcerative colitis, as
they have been shown to weaken the immune system. Ulcerative colitis
patients are also advised to reduce any stress or strain. Ulcerative
colitis can be controlled but left untreated may lead to other serious
illnesses and complications.
Ulcerative colitis is a
condition where the colon is inflamed. This inflammation causes the
lining of the colon to swell resulting in inflammation and pain.
Ulcerative colitis is not a life-threatening illness but should be given
extra care as it can result in severe damage to other areas of the
body, and even cause death.
Shinzo Abe Health issues Stepping Down As Prime Minister:
Shinzo was elected prime
minister of Japan in September 2020, following the death of his first
premiership. After winning his seat, he has since implemented many
reforms including introducing economic and fiscal policy.
Although
the country is currently under a nationalistic government, Japan has a
rich tradition of democracy and is ruled by an appointed parliament,
instead of a hereditary monarchy. As well as his role as prime minister,
Shinzo is one of Japan's most prominent politicians, having served as
leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
Shinzo is a
graduate of Kyoto University, having studied Politics, Economics and
International Relations. Since graduating, he has worked in the private
sector, where he worked as an advisor to various companies. His
experience also led to him being a member of the Diet, or lower house of
the Japanese parliament. He was also elected to the House of
Councillors and was made a member of the Board of Education.
Shinzo
is a member of the Christian Church and attends the Holy Cross Church
in Tokyo, one of the largest and oldest Christian churches in Japan. He
is married to Akie Abe, who is an experienced journalist and is the
editor in chief of the Christian magazine, 'Otsuhashi'. Both Shinzo and
Akie have children, named Rei and Kaori.
Shinzo Abe is
known to be a keen supporter of the Japanese Language, which means
Japanese in English, and has said he wants the Japanese language to be
taught in every school in Japan. He has also stated that he would like
to become the first sitting prime minister to deliver a speech in the
English language.
According to one Japanese newspaper,
Shinzo Abe is considered to be very intelligent, as he knows what he is
doing with his life, and this in itself is quite a compliment to his
ability to be an efficient and effective leader. He is said to have a
clear vision, a keen sense of attention to detail and the ability to
make quick decisions.
