Treatment of chronic rectal mucosal inflammation

Chronic rectal mucosal inflammation is actually an inflammation of the rectum. Because the inflammation mainly invades the rectal mucosa, it is called rectal mucositis. If acute rectal mucositis does not heal for a long time, it will turn into chronic rectal mucositis. If the rectal mucosa and its underlying layer are thickened, it is called chronic hypertrophic rectal mucositis; if the intestinal glands and their interstitium in the rectum are atrophic and changed, it is called chronic atrophic rectal mucositis. So what are the treatments for chronic rectal mucosal inflammation? Let’s take a look at it together below.

diet

Chronic inflammation of the rectal mucosa is a digestive tract disease. Patients with rectal ulcers should pay attention to their diet. The diet should be soft, easy to digest, rich in nutrition, and small meals should be eaten frequently. Small meals can easily produce gas, and the diet should be high in fiber, heavy in fat, raw, cold, and irritating. It is best to combine it with traditional Chinese medicine differentiation and treatment. Diet for rectal ulcer: Eat regularly, do not overeat, and eat on time. The diet should be light, eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcohol and other indigestible and irritating foods, and eat more fruits, vegetables and fibrous foods.

Avoid drinking milk. Milk is delicious, nutritious and was once considered an ideal drink for patients. But recent studies have found that drinking milk can make the patient's condition worse.

Because milk, like beer, can cause a large amount of gastric acid secretion. When milk first enters the stomach, it can dilute the concentration of gastric acid, alleviate the irritation of gastric acid to gastric and duodenal ulcers, and temporarily relieve upper abdominal discomfort. But after a while, the milk becomes an irritant to the gastric mucosa, causing more gastric acid to be produced, further worsening the condition. Therefore, patients should not drink milk.

Drinking tea is beneficial for healthy people, but it is harmful rather than beneficial for patients with rectal diseases.

Because tea acts on the gastric mucosa, it can increase the secretion of gastric acid, especially for patients with chronic inflammation of the rectal mucosa, this effect is more obvious. Excessive secretion of gastric acid offsets the effectiveness of antacid drugs. Therefore, patients are advised not to drink tea, especially strong tea.

In the above article, we have learned in detail the treatment methods and daily dietary taboos of chronic rectal mucosal inflammation. I believe everyone understands it. Of course, in addition to the above taboos, we still have to follow the doctor's advice so that our body can recover as soon as possible.
