Radiation Enteritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Radiation enteritis is an inflammation of the intestine that can arise as a result of exposure to radiation therapy directed at the abdomen or pelvis, which irritates the intestinal lining.
How it shows up: it can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and discomfort with bowel movements; in some cases the symptoms appear some time after treatment.
When to consult? If digestive symptoms persist or interfere with eating and daily life, it is a good idea to mention them to the medical team.
Who handles it? The gastroenterologist is the professional suited to evaluate intestinal irritation and follow up on digestive discomfort. With intestinal symptoms that continue after radiation treatment, the recommended step is to discuss it with this specialist to receive appropriate guidance.
