What Causes Twinges In Lower Abdomen After Chemo And Radiation Therapy?

Hello, I had 1b2 canacer of the cervix. I had a lymphondectomy cancer was present in a lymph node illiaque on the left. Then radiation and 5 sessions of chemo during radiation then brachyotherapy. 4 months after I get occasional twinges in my lower abdomen both sides and a week ago just for an hour I had what felt like premenstral tension. My pet scan 3 months ago was clear with the exceptionof a small only slightly active glint in the para aortic which according to the pet scan conclusion it was consdered not very serious or perogative. My next pet scan is 10 August.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Could be adverse effects of the radiation therapy. You should talk to your gynecologist and possibly a general surgeon for a sigmoidoscopy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen
