Rectal Inflammation Symptoms and Treatment
The main symptoms of proctitis include abdominal pain, diarrhea, or the presence of white mucus in the stool. A colonoscopy can reveal hyperemia, edema, erosion, or mucus adhesion on the rectal mucosa, leading to a diagnosis of chronic proctitis. For treatment, oral probiotics can be used to adjust the intestinal flora, helping to alleviate symptoms and treat the disease. Additionally, combining traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment methods, oral herbal medicine can be used. External treatments in Chinese medicine, such as herbal enemas or hydrotherapy, can also be effective for chronic proctitis. These methods allow the herbs to directly reach and contact the lesion surface, acting directly on the affected colon mucosa for a more targeted treatment.
