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.

Sorry to hear of your ongoing symptoms.

Had TURP before radiotherapy. After 6 months being absolutely fine, I now have calcification in the uretha in the neck of the bladder. It is painfull with burning/stinging all the way to the penis. I am due for another TURP soon to remove the calcification debris

thanks for your reply. I have had a TURP before and after radiotherapy and similar to you had calcification around the bladder neck which has been removed at the last procedure. I now have some better phases tbut aware that these things take time to heal. I find that hydrating with water a lot helps but fall into bad habits with my daily coffee.

All the best with your TURP and keep in touch
