	Proctitis-STD Treatment Guidelines 2006
		Proctitis is inflammation of the rectum (i.e., the distal 10–12 cm) that might be associated with anorectal pain, tenesmus, or rectal discharge.
		Proctocolitis is associated with symptoms of proctitis and diarrhea or abdominal cramps and inflammation of the colonic mucosa, extending to 12 cm above the anus.
		Acute proctitis of recent onset among persons who have recently practiced receptive anal intercourse is usually sexually acquired (215,216).

		Proctitis may also be caused by some bacteria not transmitted sexually, such as Salmonella, or by the use of an antibiotic that destroys normal intestinal bacteria, thus allowing other bacteria to grow in their place (see Clostridium difficile-Induced Colitis).
		Another cause of proctitis is radiation therapy directed at or near the rectum, which is commonly used to treat prostate and rectal cancer.
		Proctitis typically causes painless bleeding or the passage of mucus from the rectum.

	Proctitis - Alternative Medicine
		Proctitis is an inflammation of the lining of the rectum causing pain, soreness, bleeding, and a discharge of mucus or pus.
		Because some people with proctitis also develop inflammatory bowel disease, and related conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the risk factors in those instances of proctitis may be similar to the risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease (a family history of inflammatory bowel disease or Jewish ancestry).
		One promising study of 44 patients with proctitis caused by radiation therapy found that acupuncture "cured" 73% of the patients, "markedly" relieved symptoms in 9% of the patients, and reduced symptoms to "moderate" in 18% of the patients.
