The rectum is a muscular tube that’s connected to the end of your colon. It is the part of large intestine that lies between the colon and anus. Stool passes through the rectum on its way out of the body.
Proctitis is the inflammation of the lining of rectum or the rectal mucosa.

- Unsafe sex – if an individual has multiple sex partners, doesn’t use condoms etc.
- Infections associated with foodborne illness, such as salmonella, shigella and campylobacter infections.
- Due to side effects of radiation therapy.
- Certain antibiotics used to treat infections can kill helpful bacteria in the bowels, allowing the harmful Clostridium difficile bacteria to grow in the rectum.

- Food protein-induced that usually occur in infants who drink either cow’s milk, soy-based formula, or breast-fed by mothers who eat dairy products.

Further complications:
- Chronic inflammation in the rectum can lead to open sores (ulcers) on the inside lining of the rectum.
- Sometimes ulcers extend completely through the intestinal wall, creating a fistula, an abnormal connection that can occur between different parts of intestine and skin, or between your intestine and other organs, such as the bladder and vagina.
- Chronic bleeding from your rectum can cause anemia.
Prevention

- Scrub under your fingernails and between your fingers.
- Clean the skin around the catheter with an antiseptic every day.
