How to treat swelling of prostate and pain during urination ?
Patient: I had Postate Cancer treatment, Brackytherapy in July 2009 all went well untill 2 months ago, prostate swollen painfull to sit, painfull during and after urination, had blood work, stool test, nothing found no infection etc, had urethra scope looked into extremly painfull I cryed out had to lay down to allow nausia to pass. I take Lotrel for hi-blood pressure, viagra and vacuum system for intercourse. We tryed food alegery (acidic foods) Avodart, Uraxatrol, Proposed, Pentoxfylline with no results. Currently on Elmiron, Rapaflo, Phenazopy. Doctor: Thank you for your question. Yes painful urination following prostate cancer treatment is not uncommon however should  be investigated well.1. urinalysis confirm if there is infection.2. CT scan  and or ultra sound of pelvis to check if there is regrowth of prostate cancer.3.PSA level 4. Full haemogram to check for amount of blood and bacterial infection.Treatment Will depend on the results. Consulting urologist and oncologist will be helpful.
