Rectitis is one of the common diseases of the digestive system, mainly characterized by changes in the nature and frequency of stool. It might involve simple inflammation of the rectum, but it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of inflammatory bowel disease. In such cases, it is first necessary to clarify the specific nature of the condition, and then targeted treatment can be adopted. It is also important to pay attention to daily habits, and the diet should be light and easy to digest. For example, cooked soft noodles, soft rice, and fresh vegetables should be prioritized, while spicy, greasy, and irritating foods should be avoided. As for corn, it is rich in nutrients and should not have obvious adverse reactions on the gastrointestinal tract, so patients with rectitis can consume it.

Is prolonged sitting harmful to proctitis?

Prolonged sitting does not significantly harm proctitis, but if a patient sits for extended periods, it might lead to the occurrence of hemorrhoids. Therefore, it is generally advised not to sit for too long and to engage in appropriate amounts of exercise, adopting a balanced approach to physical activity. Patients with proctitis may experience symptoms like mucoid stools, purulent stools, bloody stools, and a sensation of incomplete evacuation after defecation. Therefore, in terms of diet, it is recommended not to consume overly spicy or stimulating foods. Instead, opt for foods that are easy to digest and bland. Treatment can include the use of medications such as mesalazine or sulfasalazine.

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.

What are the symptoms of colitis?

Proctitis is an inflammation that occurs in the mucosa of the rectum. Typical symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, a feeling of heaviness around the anus, and urgency followed by a sensation of incomplete evacuation. More severe inflammation can also lead to the presence of mucus and bloody pus in the stool. Bleeding from the rectum is another typical symptom, with the amount of bleeding related to the severity of the inflammation. Severe inflammation can directly cause pain in the anus and rectum. Abdominal pain and diarrhea may alternate, and long-term proctitis can also lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, nausea, and vomiting. It is necessary to promptly perform a colonoscopy to understand the severity of the lesions and actively provide symptomatic treatment.
