Treatment of proctitis

Gastrointestinal discomfort is very distressing. It can cause loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, and diarrhea. Acute proctitis is relatively easy to treat, but chronic gastroenteritis is more difficult to treat. The treatment of proctitis should be based on the patient's specific situation, identify the cause and treat it symptomatically. If you have proctitis, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. There are several types of proctitis and treatment cannot be delayed.

If we have proctitis, we should pay attention to supplementing more nutrients in our daily diet. Because long-term diarrhea will cause loss of body nutrients, we can eat more protein-containing foods, and supplement vitamins and inorganic salts. Patients should also do some appropriate exercise to enhance the body's immunity.

Treatment of proctitis

Conditioning

Patients should get adequate rest, eat light, low-residue, nutritious, non-irritating food, and be in a good mood, combining work and rest.

Systemic treatment

Decoction in water and take orally, twice a day.

(2) When chronic proctitis attacks acutely, it is used to clear away heat, detoxify, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. For those with tenesmus and frequent bowel movements, use Zhishi Daozhi Pills to clear out the congestion.

Topical treatments

For those with rectal mucosal edema, the rectum can be irrigated with normal saline, tannic acid, or potassium permanganate solution. For mucosal erosion, apply cortisone acetate solution or silver nitrate solution. For those with sphincter and levator ani muscle spasms, warm olive oil can be injected into the rectum. If the rectal mucosa is atrophied and dry, an appropriate amount of peppermint oil can be injected into the rectum every night. Clinically, using honey, sesame oil and yellow mold solution, alternately retaining enema every other day, twice a day, has a good therapeutic effect

Recommendation: For patients with long-term proctitis or patients with recurrent proctitis, it is recommended to use Chinese medicine to regulate qi and soothe the intestines for treatment, and at the same time pay attention to eating habits.

Use medicine

Salicylic acid sulfazopyridine drugs: Salicylic acid sulfazopyridine (SASP for short) is generally used as the first choice drug. It is suitable for patients with mild or severe cases who have been relieved by adrenal glucocorticoid treatment and has a good effect.

Adrenal glucocorticoids

It is suitable for patients with acute or severe diseases, can control inflammation, inhibit the autoimmune process, alleviate poisoning symptoms, and has a good therapeutic effect. Hydrocortisone or dexamethasone is commonly used for daily intravenous drip, with a course of 7-10 days. After the symptoms are relieved, oral prednisolone is used instead. After the disease is under control, the dosage is gradually reduced. After stopping the medication, sulfapyridine salicylate can be given to prevent recurrence.

The main treatment for proctitis is local topical medication or retention enema, and it can also be combined with oral Chinese medicine depending on the situation.

Use enema externally, take Yongcang Heling Antidiarrheal Capsules, Lizhu Changle internally, intravenous penicillin and chloramphenicol, etc.

Avoid spicy, greasy, raw or cold food.

Patients should go to a regular anorectal hospital to get their medicine. The types of drugs used include cimetidine, tin-like powder, plus ofloxacin or metronidazole (these two enemas are used alternately) for enema treatment. In addition, you must refrain from smoking, drinking, and spicy food, and take Yongcang Heling Antidiarrhea Capsules according to the course of treatment.

Acupuncture point treatment

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has used its unique way of thinking to explain the effects of acupuncture therapy. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. There is a sentence recorded in "Su Wen" that "if Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, all kinds of diseases will arise." The so-called qi and blood are a kind of energy that controls the internal organs. If this energy flows chaotically, it will cause various diseases.

Acupoints are located on the pathways where energy flows. This kind of pathway is called "pathway", and the normal name for acupuncture points should be "meridian points". If there is any abnormality in the internal organs, it will be reflected in the pathways of the internal organs where the abnormality is located, and further it will be reflected in the meridian points where the energy is not flowing smoothly. Therefore, by stimulating the acupoints, the flow of energy can be smooth, and the effect of curing diseases and health care can be achieved. This is the purpose of acupoint health care treatment. Acupoint health care therapy is indeed very effective in treating diseases, and recently its effectiveness has gradually been analyzed using scientific methods.

The conclusion, to put it simply, is this: The effectiveness of acupoint therapy is to adjust the autonomic nervous system by stimulating the acupoints to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the body's circulatory system is disrupted, one will become ill. This so-called state of energy disorder, in other words, is a state of autonomic nervous system imbalance.

If you have proctitis, you should be careful to avoid catching a cold in the abdomen, maintain an optimistic attitude, don't be anxious, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy, fried, or greasy foods. The treatment of proctitis requires finding out the cause and treating it symptomatically. Proctitis has multiple causes, so patients should not go to pharmacies or small clinics to get their own medicines. This will not only fail to cure the disease but also waste money.
