Same-day virtual video appointments and in-person appointments are available.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Prostate cancer<\/strong> affects about 15% of men during their lifetime. About half the men with prostate cancer who require treatment for the malignancy receive radiation therapy.<\/p>\n Common urinary symptoms after radiation therapy<\/strong> include slow urine stream, frequent urination, a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, difficulty starting and stopping urination, and frequent urge to urinate.<\/p>\n While some of the symptoms may be related to radiation cystitis, frequently in men, symptoms of enlarged prostate<\/strong> contribute to the urinary problems experienced after radiation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n Rezum therapy for BPH<\/a><\/strong> is an effective treatment option<\/strong> for men with an enlarged prostate who have undergone radiation therapy for prostate cancer and are experiencing chronic urinary symptoms attributable to an enlarged prostate.<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we have extensive experience<\/strong> in treating men with urinary symptoms after radiation therapy. Talk to us today to find out if you are a candidate for Rezum after radiation therapy.<\/p>\n Rezum<\/strong> therapy causes apoptosis (cell death) of the prostate tissue adjacent to the urethra. As a result, Rezum therapy will not affect<\/strong> the success of radiation therapy<\/strong> for the treatment of prostate cancer. Rezum therapy does not interfere<\/strong> with the effectiveness of radiation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer after radiation therapy.<\/p>\n Adverse events such as UTIs, dysuria (pain with urination), hematuria (blood in the urine), and urgency may occur after Rezum therapy, but these are usually minor and resolve within a few weeks<\/strong> [1<\/a>]. Men who are treated for prostate cancer with radiation therapy may have more friable prostatic tissue and may experience more prolonged bleeding after treatment with Rezum therapy. Usually, the bleeding is minor and self-limited. <\/strong><\/p>\n Usually, Rezum therapy<\/a><\/strong> can be performed in our office under local anesthesia. There is no special preparation necessary. You may eat and drink normally before and after the procedure. Most men require a temporary urinary catheter to be left in place after the procedure.<\/p>\n Medications such as Flomax<\/a> and Uroxatral<\/a><\/strong> are effective for treating symptoms of enlarged prostate in most men who have had prior proton therapy, IMRT, or brachytherapy for prostate cancer.<\/p>\n UroLift procedure<\/strong><\/a> can also be effective in patients who were previously treated with radiation therapy for enlarged prostate. Patients who previously had permanently implanted prostate brachytherapy seeds<\/strong> may also be treated with Urolift procedure, but there is a concern that a number of Urolift stents may be deployed, but will not position in the right spot if they encounter a brachytherapy seed in their way. This does not predispose the patient to any risks but can increase the cost of the treatment significantly.<\/p>\n Other treatment options for enlarged prostate and urinary retention after radiation therapy include bipolar TURP<\/a><\/strong>, laser enucleation of the prostate, HOLEP procedure<\/a><\/strong> among others.<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer same-day treatment for urinary problems and enlarged prostate men<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Call\/text today: 1-646-663-4044<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/strong>or <\/span>make an appointment<\/span><\/a> online. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We perform a cystoscopy, urodynamic testing, prostate and bladder ultrasound in our office.
