I am only a surgeon with no experience of this method, but I think you must
check with the radiation oncologist.   The symptoms may merely be due to the
radiation starting to do its job, but "going" so often is terribly wearing.
There may be treatment that can help or complications that need excluding.
What did the oncologist tell him to expect?

Others here may have had the treatment and have experience to share.

You need to talk to the doctor.  Seems to me that I have read here that
there are medications that they can give to help with the frequent
urination.  Ask about that specifically.

Thank you everyone for your help, especially Beverley, my husband went to
the Doctor today, he said thee was no infection and an ultrasound showed
that the prostate is swollen which it is supposed to be, so keeping my
fingers crossed again thank you

97 paladium-103 seeds last September.  Your husband is pretty much
on track but there's some info missing.

They surely asked him some questions before the seeding, How often
does he pee; does he get up at night to pee; easy starting and
stopping; that sort of thing.  The better off he was before, the
better he should be doing now.

Before seeding, I never got up to go at night.  I could write my
name in wet concrete at 5 feet.  I was essentially a perfect score
pre-seeding.

Post-seeding, the worse was at about 3 weeks, not 2,  I was getting
up to pee 3 and 4 times a night.  I had to go, really go every hour
during the day.  There was some "stinging".  

After 4 weeks, I started sleeping about an hour longer each month.
By the 4th or 5th month, I was sleeping through the night.  

I was on Flomax for 6 months.  Decadron for 2 or 3 weeks.  And one
Aleve, to reduce the swelling of the prostrate and urethra for 6
months.  I started with 3 Aleve at the 3 week mark when they tapired
off the Decadron.  

I reduced the Aleve as I started feeling better.  

I gotta say though, this was not a major inconvenience.  I have a
desk about 20 feet from the men's room.  At the worse of it, I was
getting up to "dribble" about once an hour or so.   A 5 minute break
once an hour, no one even noticed.

My office is a 30 minute commute.  I made a pit-stop before leaving
and when I got there and never had to pull over and run for the
trees.

By the 2nd month, I was good for 2 hours during the day.

At nine months, I'm off all the meds.  There's a little stinging
while peeing.
