Urinary problems first week of radiation
Hi,
Finished up my first week of radiation. All ready not peeing like I was before starting therapy. I’m on 4mg tablet of Flomax for BPH. I meet with doctors on Monday. I will consult them. What was the remedy to get you back on track to urinate. I didn’t think this would happen so quick. 4 more weeks of radiation to go. Ugh! Not a big fan of ibuprofen. Thx
Hi
. It is certainly understandable to be frustrated that this urinary side effect came on so suddenly. I want to share with you this article from our editorial team on prostate cancer urinary problems: https://prostatecancer.net/symptoms/urinary. You will want to check out the section headed "Issues after radiation therapy" and, in particular radiation cystitis. Of course, only a doctor can do the proper diagnostics on if this is what is causing your issue, but hope this can help inform conversations with them. Hope the appointment goes well and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask additional questions. Best, Richard (Team Member) Thank you
