In this latest podcast episode, we will talk about radiation. No, not the radiation that gives you superpowers like in the movies. But, radiation proctitis, which is inflammation of the rectum caused by exposure to radiation therapy. Typically for pelvic cancers like prostate, cervical and rectal cancers.

There are two types of radiation proctitis, acute and chronic. Acute develops up to 3 months after treatment and chronic develops more than 3 months after. To treat acute radiation proctitis, it is often managed with dietary changes and medications like stool softeners and antidiarrheal drugs. Treatment for chronic proctitis will vary depending on severity and may involve medications, lifestyle modifications, procedures like balloon dilation or surgery.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal, your friendly neighborhood internist and gastroenterologist.
