Anyone dealing with Prostatic Strictures after Radiation therapy?

Thanks Brice & Bob,
Unfortunately, what I seem to be dealing with (stricture?) is uncomfortable most of the time. Standing too long or sitting on anything hard creates a burning pain. A feeling of needing to urinate all the time, only I have very little urine. My stream is split as well. I go in today to have my flow measured. As much as I don’t want to have an invasive treatment, I don’t have much of a choice. Cannot go on living this way. Best of luck to both of you!

Hi Myersja,
I cannot say I was uncomfortable with the strictures as I could not feel them but did, and still have the burning pain you refer to when I urinate. No pain unless urinating. The stricture removal does definitely help with urination but has not helped me with urgency or incontinence. No joke, I believe I urinate 24 times a day which has it's own challenges as in going to a movie or dinner or anything not at home. I am good as long as there is a restroom nearby. I may have to try the botox treatment in the bladder but even that is not a permanent fix. I wonder if anyone reading this string of messages has had the botox treatments of the bladder to reduce urgency and if so what has your experience been?
Bob
