Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cystitis is quite common after chemo and radiation and is quite hard to treat also. First of all you have to get a urine culture and sensitivity duo to look for causative organism and to chose appropriate antibiotic. Antibiotics commonly used for bacterial cystitis are Nitrofurantoin, Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim. Avoid alcohol usage and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Cranberry juice is quite effective. In advance cases, cystoscopy may be needed and you can seek help from a urologist then.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
