Length of incontinence after radiation treatments for prostate cancer?

Same thing. 28 radiation sessions, and 2 years of Eligard. That was 2 years ago, and still
endless peeing. If I dehydrate I can cut it back some. How can a 16oz bottle of water turn
into a half gallon of urine. I'll never understand it.

I know you did not tag me but would like to share my experience with this.
I too was having a distinct increase in my urinatin frequency and urgency. I talked to my UFHPTI R/O and was prescribed Cialis.
Confused about why Cialis (thought was for ED) I talked to my Mayo PCP. He advised was commonly prescribed by doctors and he too, to help relax the bladder, prostate and even the penis. This helps (he said not me) with relaxation and should help with urgency, frequency. I am happy to say I got about 50% improvement and wow I was happy I spoke up and said something.
Have you talked to your doctors about this? Many medications out there that can help and your doctors know your medical and mental history and can see which is best for you as what I got may not be best for you.
Can I pass on that dehydration is not good. I speak from experience on that. I have a ICD/Pacemaker and about a year ago got shocked. I had not idea about why. I consulted with my EP and asked about my hydration that day. I said I had forgot my water that day and had done about 3 hours of excercise.
I was told dehydration is not something you want to do as really affects your electrolytes. Not coming from a medical doctor but my personal experience with becoming dehydrated and the impact it had on my heart and body.
