Objective of the Paper: To assess the efficiency of a comprehensive approach to the management of pelvic postradiation complications in women. Key Points. Pelvic damages from radiation (postradiation proctitis, cystitis, urethritis) are the most common complications following pelvic radiation in women. According to various authors, the rate of late pelvic complications can reach 30%. A third of survivors are diagnosed with a new disease, which significantly deteriorates the quality of life and required long-lasting therapy. The article describes a case report of successful therapy in a patient with postradiation pelvic complications. Conclusion. The conservative treatment of postradiation pelvic complications makes it possible to improve the quality of patients’ life, especially if initiated immediately after surgery and radiation. The most efficient mode is a combination of local, drug and physical therapy.
