Managing OAB after proton RT

Hello everyone,

This 73 year old treated an unfavorable intermediate localized PCa with 28 fractions of proton radiation, completed on Dec. 15th. Completed a 4 months course of oral Orgovyx on Dec. 28th. The side effects of the ADT were hot flashes (tolerable) and loss of libido. The side effects of the radiation has been increased urinary urgency and frequency, especially at night. Does anyone have a strategy on how I might reduce my 4 to 7 incidences per night of toilet runs?

Best regards,
