Cyber Knife side effects.

I just had my second radiology treatment and the frequency of urination is getting pretty extreme. I assume this is caused by the radiology treatment. Do the kegel exercises work to combat this and can I expect to return to previous levels after my five treatments have been concluded? Anyone else have this experience?

No, don’t do kegels. It’s the opposite of what you want. Take some Flomax. It will get worse for a while. Then it will get better.

That is an expected side effect of all radiation treatments; it will get better over a short period of time. Flomax did not help me but Rapaflo worked better.

Traded Flomax 5 years ago for Urinozink over the counter and said goodbye forever to catheter.
