Overview
Based on the duration of symptoms, Radiation proctitis may be classified as either acute or chronic.
Classification
[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups:
- [Group1]
- [Group2]
- [Group3]
- [Group4]
OR
[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on:

- [Classification method 3]
[Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on:
- [Classification method 1]
- [Classification method 2]
- [Classification method 3]
Based on the duration of symptoms, Radiation proctitis may be classified as either acute or chronic in relation to the radiation treatment as well as the presenting symptoms and signs.
Acute Radiation proctitis:
Acute Radiaition proctitis usually occurs within six weeks of radiation treatment.It is a self limiting condition that resolves after discontinuation of the treatment and doesnot increases the risk of the chronic proctitis.It presents with the symptoms of diarrhea,tenesmus,nausea,cramps,urgency and sometimes minor bleeding requiring to interrupt the treatment.
