&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview of rectal syndrome:&amp;nbsp;Proctitis, Proctocolitis, and Enteritis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Proctitis is the inflammation of the anal canal and distal rectum, also known as rectal syndrome. This condition can cause pain, discomfort, and even bleeding. Proctitis can result from infections or other gastrointestinal conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;One of the most common causes of proctitis is sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). This occurs when STIs infect the rectum through anal intercourse. Proctitis caused by STIs can affect both men and women who engage in anal sex, but it is especially common in men who have sex with men. STIs that are commonly known to cause proctitis include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting diagnosed for proctitis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The only way to confirm if proctitis is caused by sexually-transmitted infections is to get tested for STIs. This includes getting an anal swab and sending the sample to a lab. You should seek medical care if you have the following symptoms:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Diarrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Pain in the rectum area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Uncomfortable feeling in rectum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Painful bowel movements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Discharge from the rectum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Bleeding or blood in stool&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;We suggest you get a physical examination if you have these symptoms, as they overlap with several other medical conditions. Getting tested can help you receive the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;At PULSE Clinic, we offer the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/thailand-pcr-28-stds-promotion-std-test-bangkok-pattaya-phuket-hatyai-chiangmai&quot;&gt;PCR28 test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the most comprehensive STD test that covers both common and uncommon infections, so you can learn more about your status. Sometimes uncommon STIs might not show up in standard tests and could be overlooked, but PCR28 can help ensure there are no hidden asymptomatic STIs in your body. Knowing more means you can get any infections treated in time, helping you avoid complications and other health conditions caused by sexually-transmitted infections, including proctitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Once confirmed that STIs are the cause, this type of proctitis can be easily treated. Your doctor might prescribe antibiotics or antiviral medication to treat the infection causing the proctitis. The symptoms should resolve once the infection is treated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can Proctitis Go Away on Its Own?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Proctitis might go away on its own, as sometimes our body can handle certain infections without medication. However, it is recommended to seek professional help for optimal recovery. The appropriate medications can make the symptoms clear up faster, and the doctor might provide other medications to help relieve the symptoms while you&amp;rsquo;re recovering. Therefore, there is no reason to wait for it to go away on its own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Leaving proctitis untreated could also mean leaving STIs untreated if the proctitis is caused by sexually-transmitted infections, potentially leading to health &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/std-complications-in-men&quot;&gt;complications&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that could cause permanent damage to your body. Consulting a doctor is the best way to receive treatment for proctitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preventing Proctitis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In addition to managing factors like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or food allergies, proctitis caused by sexually-transmitted infections can be completely avoided by reducing the risk of contracting STIs. This means that using STI prevention measures can also reduce the risk of proctitis, as inflammation of the rectal lining from STDs is a common cause of proctitis. The STD prevention measures suggested for anal sex include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Using condoms properly during anal sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Taking &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/doxy-pep-doxycycline-for-prevention-of-stis-when-you-have-condomless-sex&quot;&gt;DoxyPEP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to reduce the risk of bacterial infections&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
