If you are an already diagnosed patient on ulcerative colitis and your symptoms did not improve on oral steroids then you should consult a gastroenterologist as you may require intravenous drugs

You have not mentioned when did you underwent your last Colonoscopy. You should not self medicate yourself with steroids. Please consult doctor for treatment under supervision.
