Radiation Enteropathy
Radiation enteropathy is a disturbance of the intestine that can appear as a consequence of exposure to radiation therapy directed at the abdominal or pelvic area, affecting the functioning of the intestinal lining.
Common symptoms: It may show up with abdominal pain, changes in bowel movements, a sense of urgency, digestive discomfort, and, in some cases, difficulty absorbing nutrients.
When to see a doctor? When persistent digestive discomfort appears after treatment with radiation, it is advisable to discuss it for an appropriate evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the professional indicated to study intestinal disturbances and provide follow-up for these cases. Maintaining communication with them helps to protect digestive health during and after treatment.
