Can rectal infection cause anal dampness?

Proctitis can cause local dampness in the anus, mainly because proctitis can lead to increased secretions due to inflammatory stimulation of the mucous membrane in the anal canal, which leads to increased secretions at the anal opening, causing dampness as well as itching.
It is recommended that patients can choose anti-inflammatory suppositories or gel anal plugs to administer, or with Chinese herbal medicine to retain enemas and actively treat the symptoms.
