Incontinence during/following treatment?

Can you recommend a full/empty routine? A recent colonoscopy didn’t mention any damage. SpaceOar inserted before radiation.

Full bladder/empty bowel routine is fairly standard prep for external radiation treatments. If you didn’t do it pre-radiation, it’s too late now.
Side-effects (bladder/bowel) from radiation are due to overshooting the prostate. If you’re having both urinary and bowel incontinence, you should have someone in that expertise check the nearby tissues and organs for radiation damage.
