Question: Hi Please find my Colonscopy report.

I just want to know whether can I go for sitz bath( hot water bath).

I am taking hot water bath 2 times daily for 20-30 min.

Am I doing right?

I hope so it doesn't increase the problem.
I just want to relax my muscles as they are very tight, the patchy edema mentioned in report is just tightness of rectum.

Hi Thanks for replying.
please find it now. I have Proctitis, in medical term.... but frankly these patches are just made by me, I used to squeeze my ass eveytime fearing loose motion eveytime and also fear of some foul smell as I didn't experienced IBS diarrhea in my life before... than I read over internet that IBS causes smell than also I started squeezing my ass everytime for 1yr.
I don't exactly remember wat started before either bad smell or my squeezing of rectum. does IBS really cause bad smell from ass.???
Now I am relaxing it for last 4 months....plz tell if it can cure 100 percent. 4months back my rectum walls were pasted everytime before of squeeze, no gas pass... but now I am able to relax it better and also able to pass gas.
now m able to defecate better, but still it is lacking in clear bowel it does get stuck at that patch, that is at near tail bone.
So is it ok to take warm water bath, does too hot water also cause any problem?
Also one more thing I have gas problem, I have seen that empty stomach water causes gas which trigger IBS. is it possible? wat to do?
Any suggestions for me to cure my problem r most welcome.
thanks.... Happy Diwali to u and Ur family!!!

Brief Answer:
It's a simple inflammation of Rectum which I've already told

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome back..
Happy Diwali to you too..
Thank you for getting back with your doubts and reports..

Please note..

1. It's Proctitis, which is nothing but inflammation of the Rectum.
Your doctor has taken the biopsy and let's wait for Histopathological report.

But, in all possibilities, it should be cured easily.

2. Your habit to squeeze ass or rectum Is not a major issue and hence do not worry.

3. Don't read internet and spoil your mind, IBS is altogether a different thing. And there is no foul smelling in IBS.

4. Suggest you these things.
A. Relax yourself, mentally and also do not squeeze
B. Use XXXXXXX warm water, like the one you use to take bath. Not too hot.

5. Empty stomach, will not cause IBS.

Hope I have answered your questions.
In case you need further assistance, please contact me back.
If not, please close the question and rate.

Hi Sir, Thanks again!!
Sorry to disturb you on Deepwali again!
Please find the other report. Please let me know if this is fine.
1) I just don't agree with your 5th point. Always I used to drink 4glass water in morning before bowel. And I did feel intestine soaking out water and making stool watery and more watery one after the other. the first piece being good in consistency. I found that water forms gas and starts IBS.
Now I just go for bowel without drinking a sip of water and I have seen the consistency of stools remains nearly same.
May be there is no water to soak by the intestines.

2) One more thing my gastro hasn't prescribed me any medicines for Proctitis.... he has just prescribed me Colospa(for spasm) and one gas medicine.
I asked him why not for Proctitis, he just said no need, these medicines will heal. I didn't understand it why?
3) Also one final thing does sitz bath will really benefecial...?? becoz problem in defecation is not becoz of Proctitis, its becoz of tightness which has became an involuntary habit for me because of squeezing over an year.
Thank You.!!

Brief Answer:
There is no other report attached.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome back...
Thank you for getting back..

Please note..

1. There is no one more report Attached..
May be there is some problem with attaching the file.

2. I don't agree with your point one. I have studied medicine for 15 years and I can guarantee that the theory you are saying is completely wrong.
Please provide the reference if you have any on the theories that you explain in point number 1 so that I can update my knowledge from you..

3. Your doctor is absolutely right.
As I already have said, it's inflammation not infection. So no need for any other drugs.
You'll be fine with these medications..

4. The tightness that you are complaining may be due to fissure In anal region leading to sphincter spasm.
Please use local gel, Anobliss or Smuth and this will help you to relax the sphincter.

Hope this helps you..
In case you need further assistance, please contact me back.
Or, you can close the question and rate..
Take care.

Hi Sir, Thanks
Attached Again
I am just layman, I stand no where in front of your knowledge.
Actually I haven't read much actually about IBS becoz whenever I surf, people just post rubbish things like smell and all and I don't want to demotivate me. they are like me but they don't know that the smell they are talking about is becoz of their act of squeezing the rectal passage which somehow disturb the fluent passage of stool. may be my this concept is wrong.

What I do now is just go by the gut feeling and it's really helpful. I focus on each single thing I eat, and see what it impacts. I go by the things which makes my stomach rock solid.

I found that drinking water on empty stomach causes gas, and after that may be in order to pass the stool I psychologically use that water to wash out my colon, suddenly the mouth drys. but I have found that it's not totally psychologically... in my case gas formation is a must before i can psychologically feel my intestines.
Well that does not matter I just wanna see myself healthy again, around 2yrs of pain, left job, frnds..
