Cancer Treatment | Pelvic and Abdominal Side Effects in Women | Cancer Research UK

In this video, we explain what side effects you might get after radiotherapy to the pelvis or tummy (abdomen). The side effects you have depend on which part of your body is being treated. They tend to come on gradually as you go through your treatment and for a few weeks afterward. Some people only have mild side effects but for others, the side effects can be more severe. Side effects can include diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, irritation to the bladder, narrowing of the vagina and fertility issues.
