6. Constipation – A Quiet yet Unyielding Struggle
In the diverse universe of Radiation Proctitis symptoms, constipation often emerges quietly, a silent yet unyielding struggle that carves through daily life. It’s not simply a pause in bowel movements but a layered tapestry of physical and emotional stillness.
