The success of treatment depends upon the exact causes and how easily these are corrected. Treatment choice depends on the cause and severity of disease, and the motivation and general health of the person affected. Commonly, conservative measures are used together, and if appropriate surgery carried out. Treatments may be attempted until symptoms are satisfactorily controlled. A treatment algorithm based upon the cause has been proposed, including conservative, non-operative and surgical measures (neosphincter refers to either dynamic graciloplasty or artificial bowel sphincter, lavage refers to retrograde rectal irrigation). Conservative measures include dietary modification, drug treatment, retrograde anal irrigation, biofeedback retraining anal sphincter exercises. Incontinence products refer to devices such as anal plugs and perineal pads and garments such as diapers/nappies. Perineal pads are efficient and acceptable for only minor incontinence. If all other measures are ineffective removing the entire colon may be an option. Diet
Dietary modification may be important for successful management. Both diarrhea and constipation can contribute to different cases, so dietary advice must be tailored to address the underlying cause or it may be ineffective or counter productive. In persons with disease aggravated by diarrhea or those with rectal loading by soft stools, the following suggestions may be beneficial: increase dietary fiber; reduce wholegrain cereals/bread; reduce fruit and vegetables which contain natural laxative compounds (rhubarb, figs, prunes/plums); limit beans, pulses, cabbage and sprouts; reduce spices (especially chilli); reduce artificial sweeteners (e.g.
Capillaritis is where the capillaries, usually of the legs or lungs, are inflamed, allowing blood cells to pass through.It may occur in the lungs as pulmonary capillaritis, or in the skin as pigmented purpuric dermatosis. Capillaritis usually affects otherwise healthy people. Capillaritis can take many forms but is made up of tiny red or brown dots that may be spread out or in a group forming a red or brown patch on the skin. One variation, Majocchi purpupa,  forms concentric rings.Capillaritis is a mild condition not requiring treatment. There is no known cure, however capillaritis can disappear within a few weeks, recur from time to time, or persist for years. == References ==
