Patient's question:
A sister recently told me that she is very concerned about her mother's illness. Her mother has had rectitis for many years and has visited numerous hospitals without any relief. She is even a bit fearful, so she wanted to ask everyone, what should she do if her mother has had colorectal inflammation for over ten years and has tried various treatments without improvement?Doctor's answer:
For general colitis, non-surgical treatment is usually chosen, which can help maintain internal environmental balance, correct electrolyte and acid-base disorders, and may involve minor, multiple surgeries when necessary. Broad-spectrum antibiotics and metronidazole can be used to control the growth of intestinal bacteria, especially anaerobic bacteria. If non-surgical treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment can also be selected, primarily involving the removal of the affected part of the intestine and the subsequent anastomosis of the remaining intestine.
