Thank you for your question.
Yes painful urination following prostate cancer treatment is not uncommon however should be investigated well.
1. urinalysis confirm if there is infection.
2. CT scan and or ultra sound of pelvis to check if there is regrowth of prostate cancer.
3.PSA level
4. Full haemogram to check for amount of blood and bacterial infection.
Treatment Will depend on the results.
Consulting urologist and oncologist will be helpful.
