How to treat rectal ulcers and erosion?
Disease description:
I have developed ulcers and erosion in my rectum and would like to seek treatment. How are rectal ulcers and erosion treated?
The treatment of rectal ulcers and erosion mainly includes:
1. Adjusting dietary habits: Avoiding the intake of irritating foods, such as spicy or greasy dishes, and increasing dietary fiber intake, such as dragon fruit, spinach, etc., to promote gastrointestinal motility.
2. Medication: For local symptoms such as pain and diarrhea, medications such as mesalazine enteric-coated tablets and sulfasalazine enteric-coated tablets may be selected, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effects.
3. Surgical treatment: If the condition is severe or medical treatment proves ineffective, surgical options such as total colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis or coloproctectomy may be considered.
4. Adjunctive therapies: Traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as acupuncture and massage, can serve as adjunctive therapies, while psychotherapy helps alleviate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in patients.
