All these symptoms are due to Post Radiation Urethral Stenosis.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3)Serum PSA.
4) Endoscopic examination of bladder and dilatation of urethra (If required).
