Healing Radiation Damage with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
HBOT provides targeted oxygenation to heal and repair tissues damaged by radiation, improving recovery and quality of life.
Impact of Radiation Damage
Radiation injuries can cause long-term physical and emotional effects that impact quality of life:
Physical Symptoms
Chronic Pain: Persistent pain in affected areas, such as the bladder or bowel.
Functional Impairments: Issues like incontinence, difficulty swallowing, and limited jaw mobility.
Chronic Fatigue: Low energy levels due to tissue inflammation and oxygen deprivation.
Mental Health Impacts
Psychological Distress: Symptoms like pain and physical limitations often lead to stress, anxiety, and social withdrawal.
Impact on Daily Activities: Reduced ability to perform routine tasks due to discomfort or functional limitations.
Understanding Radiation Tissue Damage
Radiation damage, also known as radionecrosis, occurs when healthy tissues are affected by radiation therapy. While this treatment is effective in targeting cancer cells, it can also damage surrounding healthy tissues, leading to symptoms that may appear months or even years after treatment.
Types of radiation injuries include:
Radiation Cystitis: Symptoms like painful urination and bleeding often arise after prostate or bladder cancer treatment.
Jawbone and Dental Issues: Damage to the salivary glands, leading to open sores, cavities, and jawbone complications.
Bowel Issues: Rectal bleeding and incontinence are common after colon cancer treatment.
