Overview
Acute radiation proctitis is a self limiting condition and treated conservatively however in 20% of cases undergoing external beam radiation will require short interruptions in their treatment to improve symptoms.In case of chronic radiation proctitis treatment usually depends upon the severity and pattern of the symptoms.[1][2]
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,vitamin A ,[3] hyperbaric oxygen therapy, corticosteroids, metronidazole, and argon plasma coagulation.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
