I had urinary symptoms - pain when peeing, frequency and general bladder muscle sensitivity (overactive bladder) before radiotherapy for contained prostate cancer.
One year and four months on from radiotherapy had surgery to remove some calcified areas of prostate.
Here am I 7months on from TURP with ongoing symptoms including pain, frequency and urge incontinence and various meds to suppress but aware there is a lot of irritation still to settle.
Anyone else on a similar journey with info to share ?
thank you
Hello Pict
I have had both a TURP and radiotherapy and am lucky to have no side effects.
I think you should go back to your GP/Team and let them know how you feel and I am sure there will be something they can do.
Do let us know how you get on.
Best wishes - Brian.
