PSA has dropped, but still having urination issues

Posted by fig1971 @fig1971, Jun 23 8:21am

Went to the doctor last week for my 3 months PSA reading i started at 7.65 after radiation it has dropped to 3 he said i'm heading in the right direction. I'm still having issues urinating and still have pain but with time hope all this goes away i wanna feel like me again.

People get a prescription for Flomax when they have urinary problems after radiation. Have you asked your doctor about that problem or has your doctor mentioned that?

I was given Tamsulosin 0.4mg and it has worked wonders for my urination issues.

Tamsulosin=flowmax

Someone else posted that Uribel really works to stop burning while peeing.

You should ask your doctor about it.
