Hi - first time poster hoping to hear from others with similar experiences.
Had my prostate removed April 2023 (RARP). Op went well but catheter out too soon (or not fitted well perhaps) and back in hospital for 6 days with sepsis - not pleasant. Nothing modern antibiotics and properly fitted catheter couldn’t deal and several months later felt almost back to normal.
Now, well over a year later, the only ongoing issue/concern is what I can only describe as regular ‘discomfort’ in what I think is the area where my prostate used to be. Best way I can describe it is a sensation of there being a marble/golf ball shoved up there. Not terribly painful as such and not stopping me getting on with life but most unwelcome. Consultant seems to have drawn a blank so far. Had a cystoscopy (didn’t enjoy that!) and all looks well so assume nothing internal to bladder or urethra.
Anyone else had ongoing discomfort like this?
At the end of the day I suppose I’ll just have to grin and bear it but thought I’d ask this community to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks.
