What Causes Urge To Urinate All The Time When Scheduled For Brachytherapy?

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 6 months ago. I am 1tc, Gleason of 7, stage 1, 5 percent of one of 14 core samples. I'm scheduled for brachytherapy 3/6/2014. I'm on vacation now and since yesterday I've felt the urge to urinate all the time. What's going on?

The symptoms that you are having are due to enlargement of the prostate gland which sits around the urinary outflow system. It can thus lead to urgency, increased frequency, burning, blood in urine etc. These symptoms will improve after your treatment starts and the gland decreases in size.
