Patients must quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy and greasy foods, get enough rest, and increase gastrointestinal motility. In addition, you must receive timely anti-inflammatory treatment. In addition, abdominal direct current therapy, calcium ion infusion, diathermy therapy, etc. are all commonly used treatment methods.

During the attack, do not eat vegetables, fruits and cereals rich in crude fiber, do not drink alcohol or consume too many condiments.

Treatment of chronic colitis. Some patients may suffer from constipation due to intestinal spasm and functional disorder. In order to calm the whole body and reduce the excitability of intestinal muscles, hydrotherapy can be used, such as warm water bath, abdominal hot compress, abdominal irradiation with sunlamp or infrared lamp, diathermy therapy, abdominal direct current electrotherapy, calcium ion penetration, whole body ultraviolet irradiation and other methods. Physical therapy can act directly on the abdominal organs, and can also act on the gastrointestinal tract through skin reflexes, thereby playing an antispasmodic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and improving local circulation effects. It is often used in clinical practice as an auxiliary treatment measure.
