Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone Brachytherapy for cancer of the prostate two years ago and now have obstructive urinary symptoms .

This could be most likely to be due to post radiation stricture of the prostatic urethra ,
This can be confirmed only on endoscopic examination of Urethral passage and bladder
(Cystoscopy).

Please consult your urologist for clinical evaluation and Cystoscopic examination to confirm the diagnosis.

Further treatment will depend upon the endoscopic findings.
