A member asked:
Can you have proctitus.on its own. in the bowel without been sexually active as i'm a heterosexual guy, or does this point to chrohns or ulcerative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Proctitis does not require sexual activity, but sexual activity is a risk factor. You should see a doctor about your symptoms. They will likely also evaluate you for inflammatory bowel disease and other conditions.
