Has anyone experiencing blood in their urine a few years after radiation therapy?
My doctor attributes it to Radiation Proctitis, which affects the blood vessels in the bladder neck.
If any of you are or have experienced this, was there anything specific that seemed to cause it (i.e. bowel movement, etc.)?
Also, did you undergo any sort of treatment to improve the situation?
It's usually from scar tissue sloughing off in the urine stream. It is common and expected. It usually goes away on its own and can be ignored. If the bleeding is copious and doesn't resolve, talk to a urologist.
Radiation cystitis is the correct term.
Proctitis is around back!!😝
And HBOT does a really good job at taking care of either one.
It happens to me at about the one year mark and again at the three year mark. Lasted a couple days each time then resolved. At 6 years now and hasn’t happened again. Both times I felt may have been worse due to me doing fairly heavy squats and deadlifts .
