Hi and thanks for the query,
It is possible that this could be cystitis due to radiation. It is however very important to ensure that other causes of cystitis, especially infections have been excluded. The decision to treat depends on the intensity of the symptoms. In it is so bothersome, sclerosing therapy could be used. In cases of fistulae, surgery could be applied. This depends on a proper clinical review by his urologist. Kind regards
