If the diagnosis is correct, your disease probably was related to constipation. Suppository is ok but the key in the Acute phase of ‘itis’ avoid all fruits vegetables whole grains and fiber and drink 80-100 ounces of caffeine free/ alcohol free fluid daily, more if you do strenuous exercise/ work or fly in planes
