Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis Treatment in India

Angel Mehta, a 28-year-old junior architect, had always been driven and health-conscious. For the past eight months, she had been battling persistent urgency to have a bowel movement, often with bloody mucus, and a constant, nagging pain in her lower left abdomen. It was disrupting her focus at work and making her anxious about client meetings or site visits. Her gastroenterologist, after a colonoscopy, diagnosed her with Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis, explaining it was inflammation confined to her rectum and sigmoid colon. The doctor recommended starting with a mesalamine suppository regimen, a targeted topical treatment to reduce inflammation right at the source. Angel was initially apprehensive and felt a loss of control over her own body. The first week of treatment was awkward, but she quickly adapted. Within two weeks, the bleeding stopped, and the urgency dramatically decreased. After a month, her pain was minimal. The relief was profound, she regained her confidence and could fully engage in her career and social life again. Her emotional journey moved from frustration and embarrassment to empowerment and gratitude for a treatment that allowed her to reclaim her normalcy.
