What happens during the disease - gastroenteritis and colitis due to radiation
Gastroenteritis and colitis due to radiation is caused by the direct damage to the gastrointestinal tract from exposure to ionizing radiation. this can lead to inflammation, ulceration, and destruction of the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools. in some cases, radiation-induced damage to the gastrointestinal tract can lead to long-term complications such as malabsorption, malnutrition, and an increased risk of developing cancer in the future.
