If you have colitis, you should pay attention to how eggs are prepared. You can eat steamed egg custard or boiled eggs, but avoid scrambled eggs, as they are too greasy and not easy to digest and absorb, which can increase the burden on the intestines and exacerbate the symptoms of colitis.

If you suffer from colitis, you should avoid frequently consuming spicy, irritating, or overly greasy foods. Opt for a bland diet to prevent the condition from worsening. When the condition is severe, timely medication treatment is necessary, including mesalazine and Kangfuxin solution. Using Kangfuxin solution for enema can protect the intestinal mucosa and the medication works directly on the affected area, which is very effective.

Treatment of proctitis

Proctitis is relatively common in clinical settings, especially in the department of gastroenterology. It generally presents as abdominal discomfort and abnormal bowel movements. Abdominal discomfort typically manifests as discomfort in the lower left abdomen, and abnormal bowel movements may include increased frequency and looser stool texture. The treatment of proctitis generally falls into two categories: general treatment and medication. General treatment includes maintaining smooth bowel movements, eating smaller meals more frequently, and ensuring that the stool remains soft. For medication, options include oral medications and topical treatments. Oral medications can soften stools, protect the intestinal mucosa, and control inflammation, among other effects. Topical medications may be chosen to protect the intestinal mucosa and prevent itching, and generally, they are quite effective, so patients need not worry too much.

Why is it difficult to pass gas with proctitis?

When the condition of proctitis is severe, it will manifest as local congestion and swelling of the anus, causing a noticeable sensation of prolapse which affects gas and stool passage. It is important for those with proctitis to pay attention to a bland diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, onions, raw scallions, raw ginger, and raw garlic, as these can exacerbate the condition. Normally, it is important to ensure smooth bowel movements, consume more green vegetables and fruits with roughage, and exercise more to promote gastrointestinal motility, alleviate constipation, and relieve dry stools. If the proctitis is severe, mesalazine suppositories can be used for administering medicine inside the anus, and Recuperation New Liquid can be used for enema to protect the intestinal mucosa. It is also important to maintain hygiene and cleanliness, and warm water or potassium permanganate sitz baths can be utilized. (Please follow medical advice regarding medication use.)

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.)

Does proctitis require surgery?

Proctitis is a common clinical disease that can be asymptomatic or can present with recurrent discomfort symptoms such as abnormal stool, displaying characteristics like loose stool texture, increased frequency of defecation, or digestive bleeding accompanied by fresh red blood along with abnormal stool. If there are no specific abdominal symptoms and the stool condition is manageable, generally, surgical treatment is not necessary. Instead, dietary adjustments and rest can be made, including appropriate medication when necessary. Medication options may include suppositories, such as mesalazine suppositories, and oral probiotics for adjustment. Therefore, if there are truly no space-occupying lesions and no issues found in colonoscopy, surgical treatment may not be required for proctitis. It is advised to manage with medication and further adjust with oral probiotics, so there is no need for worry. (Please follow a professional physician's guidance when using medications and do not self-medicate.)
