Hi I have done my prostate surgery a week ago and now Thursday coming,I will take off the catheter .Hopefully all goes on well.My question is pain in the penis and very uncomfortable to sit.Is that normal or so.ething going on wrong.
Hi Yousouf
I'm sorry to read that you're feeling uncomfortable since having prostate surgery.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this in the prostate cancer forum, which I can see you've posted in before, as you'll then connect directly with other men who have had this surgery and who can share their experiences with you.
I hope you start to feel more comfortable soon
Hello Yousouf
I have noticed latchbrook has given you some great advice to repost your comments in the Prostate Cancer forum.
I hang around on the Prostate Cancer forum, and although I haven't had surgery I have in the past had a Catheter for 10 months. Yes at first it can feel unusual and takes a bit of getting used to and sometimes when you sit if you don't have it in the right place it can be a tad uncomfortable.
I am aware you have a meeting with your team tomorrow so if it doesn't come out mention the pain in the penis.
I wish you all the best at your meeting on Thursday and remember the good folk on the Prostate Community are here for you if you have any further issues.
Best wishes - Brian.
