Overview
Medical Therapy
- Symptoms such as diarrhea and painful defectation may be treated with oral opioids and stool softeners, respectively.
- Several other methods are under development as of 2005 to lessen the effects of radiation proctitis. These include sucralfate, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, corticosteroids, metronidazole, and argon plasma coagulation.[2][3][4][5]
