About Proctitis.

Proctitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the mucosal lining of the rectum, which comprises the distal gastrointestinal tract.

It arises from diverse etiologies, most commonly inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn disease, sexually transmitted and enteric infections, pelvic radiation exposure, or fecal diversion following ostomy surgery.

Pathophysiologically characterized by mucosal erythema, friability, ulceration, and inflammatory infiltration, the condition typically manifests clinically with rectal bleeding, passage of mucus or purulent exudate, anorectal pain, urgency, and tenesmus.
