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.
