Radiation injury

Radiation injury occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of radiation, damaging cells and tissues. This damage can cause symptoms like skin burns, hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. In severe cases, internal organs and bone marrow can be affected, impairing blood cell production and leading to infections or bleeding. The severity depends on the dose and duration of exposure. While low doses may cause minor effects, high doses can result in serious health problems or even be life-threatening. Medical treatment focuses on managing symptoms, preventing infection, and supporting the body's recovery.
