Hello Mace
Yes, indeed you are correct. People with a Prostate Cancer diagnosis are more likely to get a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) than someone without a PCa diagnosis.
There are many reasons for this and if it hurts to pee or you have any swelling have a word with your GP or a qualified pharmacist who can now dispense the medication you need without a visit to the GP.
Best wishes - Brian.
