 Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men. One of the most common treatments of prostate cancer is prostate brachytherapy, or radioactive seed implantation. All patients are affected by obstructive and irritative voiding symptoms to various degrees following this procedure due to edema and inflammation induced by trauma and radiation. Many physicians routinely treat obstructive and irritative voiding symptoms following prostate brachytherapy with alpha-blockers. Patients presenting with clinically localized prostate cancer may elect permanent prostate brachytherapy as definitive therapy. The efficacy of such therapy matches that of radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation. Many patients select brachytherapy since it is a single treatment session that is considered minor surgery. Most patients are discharged the same day and they may resume their normal physical activities without restriction almost immediately.
