Rectitis is quite common in clinical settings, and oral Intestine Inflammation Relief can generally be chosen for treatment without issues. Typically, the symptoms of rectitis include discomfort in the lower left abdomen and abnormal stools, particularly diarrhea, where the stool is watery or there is a feeling of rectal prolapse among others. For patients with rectitis, besides choosing oral Intestine Inflammation Relief for treatment, it's important to pay attention to diet and rest, ensure smooth bowel movements, and avoid constipation. Additionally, other oral medications can be used, such as laxatives and drugs to protect the intestinal mucosa, which generally have a good effect in treating inflammation of the intestines. However, rectitis generally does not involve symptoms of bloody stools. If a patient experiences bloody stools during treatment, commonly referred to as stools with blood, it is advised to continue diagnosis and treatment at a local hospital. It is particularly suggested to complete a colonoscopy to further rule out conditions such as hemorrhoids or intestinal tumors.

"Inflammatory changes in the rectum"

Inflammatory changes in the rectum are generally a diagnostic manifestation observed through electronic colonoscopy. Under electronic colonoscopy, these changes are often described as inflammation of the rectum, mainly characterized by congestion, edema, and pinpoint erosion of the rectal mucosa, among others. Generally, the symptoms are not very severe, and many patients who undergo electronic colonoscopy, after taking medications such as polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder for diarrhea, can exhibit inflammatory changes in the rectum. Once inflammatory changes in the rectum occur, it may be considered to treat them by orally administering medications that regulate the gut flora. If the patient presents with symptoms such as urgency, mucus-like stools, or pus and blood in the stools, treatment with sulfasalazine suppositories should be considered, and the specific choice of medication and dosage should be followed according to medical advice. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Can proctitis cause discomfort in the rectum?

As to whether proctitis will cause discomfort in the rectum, it depends on the specific situation. If it is only mild proctitis, generally, it does not cause discomfort for the patient. However, if the proctitis is severe and accompanied by conditions such as rectal ulcers, rectal discomfort is likely to occur, and the patient may experience symptoms such as pain and a sense of urgency followed by incomplete defecation. In severe cases, fever may also occur. Once a patient develops proctitis, it is advised to promptly complete an electronic colonoscopy examination. If necessary, tissue should be taken for a pathological biopsy to rule out the possibility of malignant tumors in the rectum.

What is the best treatment for proctitis?

Proctitis mainly refers to chronic inflammatory changes in the rectal mucosa. Its treatment methods mainly include oral anti-inflammatory drugs, local use of anti-inflammatory suppositories or gels, and combined treatment with traditional Chinese medicine retention enemas. Besides pharmacological treatments, dietary control and choices are also very important for patients with proctitis. Patients with proctitis should avoid eating foods that contain irritants, such as chili peppers, seafood, mutton, or other highly irritating foods. It is advisable to eat more Chinese yam and green vegetables. Chinese yam can replenish Qi and enhance the patient's immunity, while green vegetables and fruits can keep the stool lubricated, preventing the stool from becoming too dry and scratching the inflamed mucosa, leading to bleeding and pain.

What are the symptoms of rectal polyps?

Rectal polyps due to proctitis are generally benign lesions, so the symptoms are not obvious. Some patients may have no specific symptoms and polyps are incidentally found during routine physical examinations or colonoscopies where proctitis is seen in conjunction with polyps. Of course, a small number of patients may experience abdominal discomfort and abnormal bowel movements. The abdominal discomfort generally focuses on the lower abdomen, or occurs sporadically in the lower left abdomen, and can manifest as bloating pain, dull pain, or an unexplained discomfort. The abnormality in bowel movements can be seen as stools being more liquid-like and frequent, with some patients having watery stools, but there are no symptoms of fever or bloody stools. Therefore, the symptoms of rectal polyps from proctitis are usually not obvious and can be further clarified through colonoscopic examination. If the rectal polyps are not large, periodic observation with colonoscopy every six months to a year may be advised. Of course, if the polyps grow larger or symptoms become pronounced, treatment through endoscopic removal may be chosen.
