Accutane Side Effects - Proctitis
Proctitis is inflammation of the lining of the rectum, called the rectal mucosa. Proctitis can be short term (acute) or long term (chronic). Proctitis has many causes. It may be a side effect of medical treatments like radiation therapy or antibiotics. Sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, herpes, and chlamydia may also cause proctitis. Inflammation of the rectal mucosa may be related to ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, autoimmune conditions that cause inflammation in the colon or small intestine. Other causes include rectal injury, bacterial infection, allergies, and malfunction of the nerves in the rectum.
Proctitis Symptoms
The most common symptom is a frequent or continuous sensation or urge to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms include constipation, a feeling of rectal fullness, left-sided abdominal pain, passage of mucus through the rectum, rectal bleeding, and anorectal pain.
Physicians diagnose proctitis by looking inside the rectum with a proctoscope or a sigmoidoscope. A biopsy (a tiny piece of tissue from the rectum) may be removed and tested for diseases or infections. A stool sample may also reveal infecting bacteria. If the physician suspects Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, colonoscopy or barium enema x rays may be used to examine areas of the intestine.
Treatment of Proctitis
Treatment depends on the cause of proctitis. For example, the physician may prescribe antibiotics for proctitis caused by bacterial infection. If the inflammation is caused by Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, the physician may recommend the drug 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5ASA) or corticosteroids applied directly to the area in enema or suppository form, or taken orally in pill form. Enema and suppository applications are usually more effective, but some patients may require a combination of oral and rectal applications.
Accutane Side Effects
On June 26, 2009 Accutane (Isotretinoin) was recalled in part due to a possible link to serious Accutane side effects including reports of:
It has long been known of the connection of Accutane and birth defects and possible suicides, but new evidence has come to light that the makers of Accutane, Roche Holding AG, has known about the possible link of Accutane and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) since 1984 and has failed to warn its users of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and other serious side effects.
Accutane and generic brands Amnesteem, Claravis and Soltret are also suspected in causing IBD, Proctitis, Crohn's Diease & Ulcerative Colitis (UC) as well. Further according to many experts, Accutane users or any patient with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are also at an increased risk of colon cancer in the future.
