Causes

Proctitis is invariably present in ulcerative colitis and sometimes in Crohn's disease. It may also occur independently (idiopathic proctitis). Rarer causes include damage by irradiation (for example in radiation therapy for cervical cancer) or as a Sexually-transmitted infection, as in lymphogranuloma venereum and herpes proctitis.
