Question
Hello doctor,
My mother went for radiation treatment for cervical cancer 1 year ago. When I first came back, I often had diarrhea and took some drugs to support the intestinal tract, the condition still did not decrease. So the doctor asked me if diarrhea after 1 year of cervical cancer radiation therapy is okay? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have diarrhea after 1 year of cervical cancer radiation therapy? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After radiation for cervical cancer, there are often complications of inflammatory bowel disease due to side effects of treatment methods. To clarify the diagnosis, you should take your mother for a colonoscopy to assess the extent to have an appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about diarrhea after 1 year of cervical cancer radiation therapy, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
