Low.: Bicalutimide, or casodex, (bicalutamide) should have minimal effect on your chance of urinary retention. Retention is much more likely to be influenced by the degree of urinary obstruction preoperatively, and the degree of inflammation, swelling, bleeding, and scaring after greenlight photovaporization (pvp) of the prostate. Hopefully, the procedure with help prevent this from happening.
