Urinary Retention after Prostate Radiation

Hello, @ddewitt, and welcome. I'm adding your post to the prostate cancer support group, where you might find others who have had a similar experience after radiation therapy.
Here's a little more information about urinary retention after cancer treatment and what treatments are available. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/side-effects/stool-or-urine-changes/urine-retention.html
It's certainly frustrating to not have any actionable answers for your husband. Has his doctor identified the source of the urine retention?

I became aware that right after 28 radiation treatments for prostate cancer, I began retaining fluid mostly visible in my legs and feet.
Most primary doctors prescribed diuretic pills.
I don't understand the process of having to take fluids in to flush fluids out. Can you explain it in terms regular people can understand?

Thank you your response. No he has not. Just prescribed Tamulosin to help urine flow. Do you know what test should we ask for.
