Proctitis
Inflammation of the rectum, also known as proctitis, is the irritation of the lining of the rectum, the final part of the large intestine. It can appear acutely or persist over time.
Frequent symptoms: a sensation of a constant need to have a bowel movement, discomfort or pain in the rectal area, bleeding and, at times, discharge.
Common causes: infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, and other factors that irritate the rectal lining.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist evaluates the digestive system and, depending on the case, the general surgeon gets involved; in children the pediatric gastroenterologist takes part, and the general practitioner guides the first visit. When there is rectal bleeding or discomfort that does not subside, it is advisable to review it with a professional without putting it off.
