Radiation proctitus

Hello James, 

                    I developed RP. after radiotherapy and after 8 months I finally saw a gastrologist. He suggested a new treatment which was 4 sigmoidoscopies 4 weeks apart and during the procedure 'Purastat' was inserted. The bleeding and mucus started to subside after the 3rd treatment and after the 4th bleeding stopped completely. I also enrolled on the 'Colo-Spirit' research programme run by Newcastle University which is looking into the management of R. P. This treatment worked for me which was pleasing as I was desperate due to the constant bleeding from the rectum. It is certainly worth looking into.

Best wishes, Graham.
