Have you had a diagnosis on this problem yet?

Dr. Rossi mentions in the 2023 mid-year PCRI conference that, if having pain and burning during urination caused by radiation treatments, if they’ve ruled out a UTI and prostatitis, to try these in this order:
> Avoid fruit juice, smoothies, etc. with citric acid.
> Try NSAIDs (Ibuprofen/Alleve/Advil/Naproxin/Motrin).
> Try Prescription NSAIDS (Celebrex)
> Try Medrol dose-packs (steroids)
> Finally, try the over-the-counter product called Azo (it’s basically a urinary analgesic). (@jeffmarc referred to this as Pyridium.)
