More serious symptoms may occur, such as pus and blood in discharge accompanied by severe cramps and pain during bowel movements. If you have severe bleeding associated with proctitis, you may develop anemia (from loss of blood). Anemia can cause you to have pale skin, irritability, weakness, dizziness, brittle nails, and shortness of breath.

  Radiation proctitis is inflammation of the rectum that occurs as a result of acute damage to the rectum sustained from pelvic radiation. […] Chronic radiation injury may occur as a continuation of acute radiation proctitis or have a delayed onset (from 9 to 14 months following radiation exposure to 30 years after exposure). […] The reported incidence of chronic radiation injury ranges from 2 to 20 percent. […] Risk factors for radiation proctitis include the dose of radiation, area of exposure, and method of delivery. Doses of radiation <45 Gy are associated with few long-term radiation side effects. In contrast, doses between 45 and 70 Gy cause more complications, and doses above 70 Gy cause significant and longstanding injury to the surrounding area.

  Less than 15% of people with ulcerative proctitis go on to develop full-blown ulcerative colitis, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). A majority of the time, people with ulcerative proctitis just have ulcerative proctitis. It doesnt necessarily progress to other areas of the colon, Dr. Yoon says. In most people with IBD, wherever the disease is located, it usually stays in that area. […] Frequent bleeding due to ulcerative proctitis can lead to anemia, a condition where you dont have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the various tissues in your body, or iron deficiency, says Dr. Yoon. […] Progression to ulcerative colitis can also lead to other complications. With any severe inflammation, theres a risk for perforation of the colon wall, which weakens the whole colon, says Dr. Lerrigo. This means long-term inflammation of the colon has compromised the intestine wall so much that a hole forms, which can be very dangerous, as bacteria can infiltrate places it shouldnt be and cause an infection. […] Chronic inflammation in any organ for a long period of time causes damage at the cellular level, increasing the risk of colon cancer, Dr. Lerrigo adds.

[…] Bloody mucous discharge is the commonest symptom of proctitis. There may also be some associated diarrhoea, that is often blood-stained (dysentery). Fatigue and light-headedness, due to chronic blood loss and anaemia, can also result.

The progression from proctitis to cancer is over a period of time. Early precancerous changes (dysplasia) begins as mild before becoming moderate, and in some cases becomes severe dysplasia, before finally becoming invasive cancer.

  The prognosis of proctitis is generally favorable. Acute proctitis will be resolved in a few weeks. If it is chronic due to certain conditions, like inflammatory bowel disease, it will take time to heal, and anti-inflammatory drugs help in the healing process. […] If left untreated, proctitis can worsen the symptoms and may cause serious damage to the digestive tract with sores and scars. This can also result in chronic pain and malnutrition. Proctitis can also cause chronic bleeding leading to anemia. […] Proctitis can cause systemic symptoms like fever, fatigue, nausea, and weight loss. Additionally, it can cause rectal pain, diarrhea, bleeding, discharge from the rectum, and frequent feeling of defecation. Diarrhea, nausea, and weight loss can further worsen fatigue. […] Ulcerative proctitis is not a predictable disease and undergoes cycles of remission and relapse. It is better categorized into active disease and remission periods with a lifelong prevalence. The inflammation, if left untreated, may progress into other parts of the bowel where the nomenclature of the disease changes to ulcerative colitis.

  Ulcerative colitis has negative psychological consequences, and it adversely affects professional and social life of patients, significantly reducing its quality. UC typically starts with the rectum (ulcerative proctitis UP), being diagnosed at this stage in 25-50% of patients. The natural history of ulcerative proctitis has not been fully understood so far; in some patients, the inflammatory lesions progress to the left-sided colitis or pancolitis, while in others the disease has a mild course and the extent of lesions remains limited to the rectum. It is said that patients with inflammatory lesions exceeding the rectum are at greater risk of developing UC complications with the need for glucocorticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and biological and surgical treatment. For this reason, it is important to be able to predict the course of ulcerative proctitis at the time of diagnosis.
