Abdominal pain and bloody stool after radiotherapy for cervical cancer

If cervical cancer patients experience abdominal pain and bloody stools after radiotherapy, it may be caused by radiation proctitis. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for treatment through medication or surgery under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Reasons

1. Irritation: Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor disease, mainly caused by human papillomavirus infection. During radiotherapy, local tissues may be damaged and irritated, which may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. If you eat improperly during this period, it may aggravate the condition and even affect the normal recovery time.

2. Ulcers: If the radiotherapy time for cervical cancer patients is long or the dose is high, it may affect the intestinal mucosa, causing local tissue ulceration and necrosis, so symptoms of bleeding in the stool will occur.

II. Treatment

1. Drug treatment: When the above situation occurs, you can follow the doctor's advice to use antidiarrheal drugs for treatment, such as montmorillonite powder granules, which can effectively improve symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. If necessary, you can also take sucralfate chewable tablets, colloidal pectin bismuth capsules and other drugs to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa for auxiliary treatment, which can promote the recovery of the disease.

2. Surgical treatment: However, if the patient's condition is relatively serious, surgery should be performed in time to remove the lesion to avoid delaying the condition. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also needed to consolidate the therapeutic effect in order to achieve better treatment results.

3. Other methods: Some people can also use Kangfuxin liquid retention enema as prescribed by a doctor to help relieve discomfort.

In addition, it may also be related to digestive tract perforation. You need to see a doctor to identify the cause and actively receive treatment. In daily life, you should also pay attention to personal hygiene, change and wash underwear frequently, and avoid unclean sexual life. At the same time, you should also go to the hospital for regular checkups and pay attention to your physical condition at any time.
