Can proctitis cause frequent urination and urgency?
Proctitis generally does not cause frequent urination or urinary urgency. Proctitis mainly causes symptoms such as the passing of mucous stools, purulent bloody stools, and a sense of incomplete evacuation after defecation. If a patient experiences frequent urination and urinary urgency, they should visit the urology department of a regular hospital. It's possible that there could be urinary tract stones or an infection, requiring a routine urine analysis and ultrasonic examination of the urinary system. In addition, for proctitis, it is necessary to take oral medication to adjust the intestinal flora. Attention should also be paid to the diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and opting for bland, easily digestible foods.
Can people with irritable bowel syndrome eat pomegranates?
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome can eat pomegranates. Patients should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and fiber, and pomegranates are included in this category and are safe to eat. However, patients with irritable bowel syndrome should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as foods that are overly acidic, overly spicy, overly salty, overly hot, and rough. Pomegranates do not fall into these categories, so patients with irritable bowel syndrome can eat them normally, but they should not overindulge or eat too much, and should consume them in moderation.
Will carcinoembryonic antigen increase in irritable bowel syndrome?
Generally speaking, patients with irritable bowel syndrome do not experience an increase in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. An increase in CEA levels suggests the possibility of adenocarcinoma or precursor lesions of adenocarcinoma, which may not only be present in the intestines but also in the lungs and other tissues. In theory, tumor markers for patients with irritable bowel syndrome should be within the normal range. Once an increase in tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen is observed, it is crucial to be highly vigilant about the possibility of adenocarcinoma, and it is necessary to actively complete related auxiliary tests, such as electronic colonoscopy, abdominal CT, chest CT, among others.
How to take care of acute pancreatitis
Patients with pancreatitis should pay attention to their diet during the recovery period. The basic dietary principle for pancreatitis patients is to consume small amounts of easily digestible foods, with low protein and fat content, primarily carbohydrates. During acute episodes, it's crucial to strictly control the intake of fatty foods. Once the condition has improved, patients may gradually consume protein-rich, high-vitamin, high-carbohydrate foods, along with non-irritating, easily digestible foods. Patients should avoid consuming large amounts of meat and alcohol, and can eat rice soup, lotus root starch, noodles, etc.
Do people with proctitis fart a lot?
Proctitis generally does not lead to increased flatulence. Patients with proctitis may experience the passage of mucus-like stools and may have symptoms such as pain around the anus. Patients with proctitis rarely experience increased flatulence and generally do not have mucus, pus, or bloody stools, nor do they cause other symptoms like stomach cold or fever. However, they may experience urgency and tenesmus. Once a patient is diagnosed with proctitis through medical examination, treatment involves the use of mesalamine or sulfasalazine suppositories. In terms of diet, it is advised to consume bland food and avoid spicy and irritating foods. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
How to alleviate bloating in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome who experience bloating may consider taking oral prokinetic drugs such as mosapride or itopride for treatment. They could also take digestive aids like compound azintamide or compound digestive enzymes to aid digestion. Additionally, medications that regulate the intestinal flora, such as Bacillus clausii, could be considered for treatment. Of course, the specific choice of medication as well as the dosage should be based on the main clinical symptoms. Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome should eat a light diet, eat regularly and in measured amounts, and consume foods that are easy to digest.
