Answer 5

I had a prostecomy in 2015. Received radiation treatments 15 months later.  I recently began to pass blood in my urine. My urologist conducted a cystoscopy and it showed weakened blood vessels in my bladder. He said it was a side effect of the radiation therapy.  Is this true? If so ,other than  cortorizing my bladder, is there any other way to fix this problem? Medication perhaps?
