How to treat proctitis with anal heaviness and swelling?
Disease description:
Last month, I was diagnosed with proctitis due to stomach discomfort. Could you please advise on effective treatments? I would like to know how to treat the sensation of anal heaviness and pressure caused by proctitis.
Proctitis with anal heaviness and swelling can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, and surgery may be considered to relieve symptoms. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits by avoiding staying up late, and controlling alcohol consumption and smoking. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume easily digestible foods to reduce intestinal irritation. In particular, when proctitis patients have mucosal edema, the rectum can be cleansed with normal saline or potassium permanganate solution, which directly helps prevent infection.
