Urinary Retention after Prostate Radiation

Thank you for your post.
My husband is self catheterizing himself right now when needed.
The Urologist is ordering a Urodynamic testing and CT scan to see why his bladder may not be fully emptying. They may be some bladder obstruction or urethra damage after radiation.
Hoping to get some type of answer to this problem.

Radiation caused an urethral stricture (obstruction ) for me, Getting a look at the urethra is a good idea. If you can self catheterize an obstruction is unlikely, but you never know. If there is damage hyperbaric oxygen may help. If there is a stricture the insertion of a balloon can open/widen tne passage.
