prostate cancer treatment brachytherapy
Prostate Cancer poll: Any guys out there having discomfort with magnetic seeds…?
…while having sex? If any men out there with Prostate Cancer (or women of spouses/boyfriends) who has chose radiation brachytherapy (magnetic seeds placed inside the prostate gland) as a treatment to get rid of the cancer please discreetly tell of your experiences within the first 3 months. And what’s is next to come. I am livin’ & learnin’ and it’s difficult… especially in the bedroom.
I am the wife of someone who had seeds. He said no pain other than where they poked the wholes, and that went away after a few days.
Life is different but not bad. Sex is OK but different. Desire and performance are OK but (ejac, can I say that on Answers) not very satisfying. I hope you have a loving wife! Find a different and pleasing position if your old ones don’t work. Make time for sex, don’t take it for granted. Know what turns you on. Be selfish if that’s what it takes.
Incontinence is sometimes a side effect, but no problems in this area, thank goodness.
Seeds were the best alternative for us. Quick recovery time, no really bad side effects. At 59, it was better than possibly dying of cancer. GOOD LUCK! and if you do have problems afterwards, every hospital has support groups and individuals you can contact, as well as hospital support people. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it!
