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.
