Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this single-arm trial is to learn if Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) works to treat hemorrhagic radiation-induced proctopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Dose FMT alleviate the symptom of severe rectal bleeding?
* Dose FMT improve the endoscopic findings of proctopathy?

Participants will:

* Take fecal microbiota capsules by 8 sessions over a 12-week period.
* Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests.
* Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use other supportive care.

Study Groups

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal microbiota capsules are given by 8 sessions over a 12-week period, with the initial 3 sessions every other day in the first week and the subsequent sessions every two weeks. The FMT regimen involves oral intake of 40 capsules per session. The best supportive care is performed when necessary, including oral medicine, enema, blood transfusion, and endoscopic procedures.
