    Bladder protection
    I finished radiation in December and still have an irritated bladder! I keep talking to the doctor about it and he does urinalysis and they always come back clean. My bladder has even been leaking. He tells me that it is decreased bladder capacity due to the radiation. Do you mind if I ask what the pills they put you on were and are you still taking them?

    I made a point of having a full bladder with radiation. I live about 30 minutes from the cancer center and I would drink a tall glass of H20 on my drive there.

    I hope everything goes fine for you Linda.

    Hugs to all...

    pills
    I will try to find out the old prescription paper on them and get back to you. I do know that they made my urine bright orange, and if you are leaking, like I was I had to wear pads all the time. I will look tonight. I am not taking them now, because I don't need them.
    I felt like I was peeing glass and I thought I had a bladder infection at first, those pills did great.

    Smiles for you,
    Sharon

    pyridium
    I believe the pills that make you pee "Orange" are pyridium., or a generic for it.
