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 will happen if rectitis gets worse?

If proctitis worsens, it should be treated promptly through surgery. Surgical removal can help prevent spread and prolong life. After surgery, it is also necessary to kill cancer cells through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If proctitis is not properly managed, frequent recurrences can lead to erosion and even ulcers, which can easily become cancerous. Therefore, regular follow-up colonoscopies are essential to monitor changes in the condition and assess whether there is a high or low chance of deterioration. After surgery, attention should also be paid to a bland diet, avoiding irritant foods.

Will rectal inflammation make it painful to defecate?

Whether defecation causes anal pain in proctitis requires specific analysis. If the symptoms of proctitis are mild, defecation might not necessarily result in anal pain. If proctitis is accompanied by ulcers or infections, resulting in severe inflammation of the rectum, and if there are also anal fissures, defecation might cause anal pain. Regarding the severity of proctitis, it’s important to promptly conduct thorough examinations such as a digital rectal exam or an anoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and adopt appropriate treatment measures based on the severity.

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.
