How can acute proctitis be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute proctitis: There is no cure except for surgery to resect the rectum - there is treatment which can cool off the inflammation and hopefully the condition will abate - it can come back depending on the cause proctitis is one of the most difficult things to treat in gastroenterology.
