Caffeine doesn't cause a UTI, but it adds significant irritation when you have a UTI, radiation cystitis, or both. Ditto for carbonated beverages, alcohol, spicy foods, etc.

Hello Canada!😊
I had proton radiation 2 years agon. But now 2 years later all of sudden having some irritation, urgency and frequent urination increase.
I then read your post and thinking I maybe the culbrit. I drink mor decal coffee that I used to . I did not know acid can cause irritation also, and carbonated beverages (which I have increased also)?
I try to drink no more that 1 bottle of Cherry Coke Zero (no sugar) but noticed my urination more frequent and urgency leakage since started drinking it. I added the drink to cut down on snacking and enjoy the taste of the cola.
Will the caffeine cause the symptoms you mentioned. Seems like I might be the cause of my increase in symptoms of more frequent urnination, urgency, drippling, etc.
I knew caffience caused a direutic affect on kidneys (from HF doctor) but did not know such a limited amount my contribute to it. I see you say acid in coffee doing it also. I do drink more decaf coffee also.
Is there any acid in cola?
I have my 2 year after treatment R/O follow up at UFHPTI on Tuesday. Monday have my PSA lab. Last one was .22 so hoping same or lower but now worried I might have been irriatating that little guy that had gone through so much 2 years ago.
