Radiation Cystitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Radiation cystitis is inflammation of the bladder wall that develops as a result of receiving radiation to the pelvic area. The bladder tissue becomes more sensitive and irritable, which leads to urinary discomfort.
Common symptoms:
- Frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Blood in the urine in some cases
When to seek care? It's a good idea to seek attention if urinary discomfort persists, bleeding appears, or the discomfort interferes with daily life.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on conditions of the bladder and urinary tract, so this is the right specialist to assess this condition. If you have urinary symptoms after radiation treatment, discussing them with a professional helps guide management.
