Hello,
With the question “Is proctitis contagious to other people? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Proctitis has many causes, it may be due to constipation, it may be caused by radiation therapy, and it may also be caused by microbial agents. Microbial agents can be transmitted to others by eating or drinking or by direct contact (same sex). The rest of the actors do not.
You can visit a Gastroenterologist for specific advice.
If you still have questions about whether proctitis is contagious to others, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
