Actually, he suffers from ulcerative colitis. This disease is associated with inflammation in the intestines, which in English is called Inflammatory bowel disease symptoms.
Abe became Japan’s youngest Prime Minister in 2006 at the age of 52, but his first term ended abruptly after a year due to health. In December 2012, he returned to power. He is credited with Japan’s defense role and capability and its security alliances with the US.
