prostate brachy therapy

[dietmar]

experiencing pain in the penis after 4 years and by now 5 years - having to go to the bathroom from every 30 min to about 2 hrs because of the pain - there is no pressure that I have to go but if I dribble a few drops it feels better - pain gets worse when I walk, bend down, getting in and out of the car and riding on rough roads, sneezing, coughing - did a 10 day cleansing diet (nothing to eat only drinking a type of lemonade) and felt good during that time

These don't sound like routine side effects from the seeds. What have your doctors said about this- as to cause and what can they do to help?

[dietmar]

doctors said: it's side effects from the brachy therapy and all kinds of tests have been done such as: ct scan, colonoscopy, endoscopy, cystoscopy and MRI - everything turned out negative

Have you tried any prescription drugs, such as flomax or any of the over-the-counter drugs to help with burning when urinating? Or drinking 100% pomegranate or cranberry juice. Given that all the tests are negative, it would seem like there's some help in your future. Maybe some new doctors for their take?

it doesn't burn when urinating - the pain is in the penis and disappears for a while after being able to dribble a few drops - flomax doesn't help against the pain
