Having Burning Sensation While Defecation Due To Proctitis. Can Change In Diet Or Medication Can Help?
I have proctitis (NOT caused by STD) and am currently having a lot of pain (burning sensation) when pooping and after. Sometimes is lasts 15 minutes and sometimes it hurts all day. I am currently taking 1000mg Canasa suppositories. Do I need to change something in my diet or is there another medication that I can take to stop the pain?
