Suggest Treatment For Ulcerative Proctitis
I am 64 years old and I have battled ulcerative proctitis for 15 years now. It developed after I had a heart attack and quit smoking. I have not smoked now for 16 years. I have ongoing treatment, that is controlled most of the time. It gets out of control then treatments change to get it back in control. My question is I have a nephew that also had this disease many years ago. He had severe bleeding. His mother told me they treated the ulcers with silver nitrate. He has had no problems since. The disease is gone has never returned for my nephew. Is this a possible treatment, and if it is, why has it never been brought up and when I go to the internet for queries I've never seen this kind of treatment.

Hello
As you mentioned that your nephew treated for ulcerative proctitis with SILVER NITRATE , you are right and I do agree with you that he was treated and cured . But do to any reason the papers were not published and that's why not over internet . However, logic is there ulcer very easily respond to silver nitrate .
2nd point is that ulcerative proctitis causes due to acquisition of HSV, N.gonorrhoeae or C.trachomatis .
Sometimes it is due to sexual contact .
Sometimes Giardia lamblia is also causative organism.
So in your nephew the causative organism may different type , while in your case may be different type .
You can use silver nitrate because it is the best wound healer .
Hope this information will be useful for you.
