Inflammation

Proctitis
Definition:
(n.) Inflammation of the rectum.
Example Sentences:

(5) The predilection of rectal stricture and its proposed precursor, salmonella ulcerative proctitis, for the middle third of the rectum was attributed to a normally precarious arterial supply which renders the rectum unusually susceptible to ischemic injury and decreases its reparative capacity.
