Patient's question:
Because of my acute gastroenteritis, I took medicine and it's almost better, but what about the swollen rectum? The medicine doesn't help, is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
The above symptoms are related to congestion and edema in the anal area. Nausea and vomiting can cause certain irritation to the anal area, leading to edema and the symptoms you described. Generally, this is not severe. Your symptoms can be relieved by soaking in a warm potassium permanganate solution. This method can help you gradually recover. For example, soaking in a warm potassium permanganate solution before bed each day can stabilize local blood circulation and maintain cleanliness in the area. Your symptoms can gradually recover. If they do not fully recover within a week, you should also visit a hospital for a thorough examination.
