Does it ever stop after urinating? Hubby had RT in March 07. Is there anything that will make it stop? shirleyann > Does it ever stop after urinating? > Hubby had RT in March 07. > > Is there anything that will make it stop? > > shirleyann I don't know much about radiation, but that does seems like a long time (March-August).

I think I've said this before, but the best thing is to drink lots of water. I'm sure he's apprehensive about that. My burning stopped within days, so I am not an expert.

I wonder whether the possibility of infection has been investigated. Regards, Steve J > Does it ever stop after urinating? > Hubby had RT in March 07. > > Is there anything that will make it stop? > > shirleyann I had RT in February and it was about two month later when the burning during peeing went away. Ejaculation, however, still burns, even now (August). I am used to it by now. Note that the semen is no longer the milky kind, and it is just clear liquid like pre-cum, about half a teaspoon. First, make sure there is no bladder infection. Yes, there are several Rx's that will help. He's got to tell his Dr. Bev > Does it ever stop after urinating? > Hubby had RT in March 07. > > Is there anything that will make it stop? > > shirleyann He was on Prosed for 2 months and the prescription has expired now. His Urologist has him on Flomax since his seed implant. I told him yesterday to call him. Hubby is 77, every little thing seems to upset him now. shirleyann He might need a higher dose or a different Rx. I think my husband was told to take it at bedtime (2-3 pills) and he took his around the clock (one pill every so many hours). He swore he could tell when the pill wore off. I don't want to tell you this but my husband forever had problems with his stream starting. They did switch him to something else eventually and that helped even more. I think you just have to keep trying until you find the right thing to keep him comfortable. But that burning makes me wonder/worry about infection.
