Cause
Proctocolitis has many possible causes. Common infectious causes of proctocolitis include Chlamydia trachomatis, LGV (Lymphogranuloma venereum), Neisseria gonorrhoeae, HSV, and Helicobacter species. It can also be idiopathic (see colitis), vascular (as in ischemic colitis), or autoimmune (as in inflammatory bowel disease).
Treatment (infectious proctocolitis)
Antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone and doxycycline.

gollark: Install python or something on your computer (I'm assuming you have a laptop or desktop or something), and an editor like Notepad++, and find a python tutorial.
gollark: * ipv6 and `ping`
