Is It Safe To Use Mesalamine Suppository For Proctitis?
I have proctitis which is with me for periods of time, i then use mesalamine suppository for one month and it clears up. Can you tell me if this is something I am always going to suffer with and also what is the chance of it spreading further up my colon. I have had proctitis for about 3 years now.
Hi, Proctitis is a condition in which when the lining tissue of the inner rectum becomes inflamed.The goals of proctitis treatment are to reduce inflammation, control pain, and treat infection. Specific treatments depend on the cause of proctitis.Proctitis is usually caused by underlying medical conditions. sexually transmitted infections,inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis,anal trauma, such as form vigorous anal sex rectal infections that occur after antibiotic use, such as from the bacteria Clostridium difficile. Whether the attack will repeat in yourcase or not depends totally on fact that what was the cause in your case. if cause was treatable it can be fully cured however if the cause is not treatable it can repeat itself. Thanks
