Patients who experience radiation proctitis most typically experience rectal bleeding, which can begin as early as four to six-weeks after the initial treatment, for as long as nine-months after the radiation treatment has ended. Dr.
Treatment. Mild cases of proctitis may heal on their own and not require treatment. Treatment for proctitis depends on its cause. If your doctor determines your proctitis is due to radiation, they may recommend medications that control inflammation, reduce bleeding, and soften stools.
One in five patients with acute radiation proctitis may require temporary cessation of therapy until the symptoms resolve. Fortunately, once the acute radiation proctitis has resolved, the majority of patients remain symptom-free and do not go on to develop chronic radiation proctitis.

The guidelines state, “Because a consistent cause and manifestation of radiation injury is vascular obliteration and stromal fibrosis, the known impact of hyperbaric oxygen in stimulating ang iogenesis is an obvious and important mechanism whereby hyperbaric oxygen is effective in radiation injury.”.
According to the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) Guidelines, 13 Edition, Chapter 11: Delayed Radiation Injury Soft Tissue and Bony Necrosis, delayed radiation injury is a covered indication for HBOT. The guidelines state, “Because a consistent cause and manifestation of radiation injury is vascular obliteration and stromal fibrosis, the known impact of hyperbaric oxygen in stimulating angiogenesis is an obvious and important mechanism whereby hyperbaric oxygen is effective in radiation injury.”#N#The Palmetto GBA teleconference is an example of where clinical definitions of “soft tissue,” specifically bowel wall tissue, are in dispute between the National Cancer Institute’s definition (applicable because radiation treatment rationale and subsequent late effects were for cancer) and the current CMS definition (which does not consider the bowel wall to be tissue at all).#N#A Clarification Update on July 6, 2018 from the Palmetto GBA teleconference acknowledges this discrepancy: “It is unclear if radiation proctitis and/or radiation cystitis are covered per NCD 20.29. These conditions are not necrotic, but inflammatory in nature, so the strict definition does not apply.”
