Hello and welcome to HCM. After CYBERKNIFE treatment for prostate cancer, bowel inflammation and irritative urinary symptoms are very common.continue the laxative for the coming month.you should be taking an antibiotic course,with a bladder relaxant and an alkaliser in lime juice.this helps in relieving the burning sensation you're feeling.it will be prescribed by your urologist. feel free to contact me, if you have any other doubts. regular follow-up with your urologist is very important after this treatment. get well soon.
