What Causes Frequent Urination At Night After A Brachytherapy Surgery?

I had a brachytherapy operation in Dec...I am fine in terms of flow during the day...(not much pressure though)...once I am up and about but am finding at night that I need to visit the bathroom approximately every 2 hours...certainly makes for interrupted sleep and tiredness during the day...I have been prescribed Terazosin and take one 2mg tablet each evening before bed...I have low blood pressure and my medic does not want me to take an additional tablet...I am 78 years of age and otherwise in good health...have you any thoughts or suggestions to assist my situation...thank you
