Medications prescribed for men with lower urinary tract symptoms due to other conditions like BPH and overactive bladder are often administered to men who develop these bothersome symptoms during and after radiation therapy. These medications include alpha-blockers or anticholinergic agents. These drugs are not offered as preventative measures but rather if symptoms become bothersome.
