Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, and blood in stool. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as colorectal cancer.

Proctitis is an inflammation of the rectum that can cause painful bowel movements, bleeding, and discharge. It may be caused by infections, immune system disorders, or other underlying conditions such as HIV/AIDS or inflammatory bowel disease. Treatment typically involves topical corticosteroids, but alternative treatments like immunomodulators, cytotoxics, and phototherapy may also be considered.

Sigmoid diseases refer to conditions that affect the sigmoid colon, a part of the large intestine. These conditions can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and weight loss. Treatment for sigmoid diseases often involves surgical removal of the affected area or medication to manage symptoms.
