HBOT for Urologists - Healing Radiation Injury with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Often those who have undergone radiation therapy as a result of prostate cancer experience symptoms of urinary incontinence, intermittent or constant hematuria, severe dysuria, pelvic or rectal pain, or even erectile dysfunction. These patients quality of life is greatly deteriorated from the resulting radiation cystitis, or other adverse effects of radiation therapy and they are in need of angiogenisis. Angiogenisis is the growth of new blood vessels. Dr. Thomas Serena discusses the impact of radiation injury and the reasons hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) will benefit the patient.
