Not directly related to radiation.. Have u detected any diet changes like decreased intake..could be due to poor diet.. If the quantity of bleed was very less with constipation and hard stool u can start using syp duphalac 30 ml three times a day for 2 days.. Increase diet and fiber intake If severe bleed with regular stool meet a gastroenterologist or treating doctor earliest
