What can I do about burning perineum pain after prostate surgery?

I had prostate surgery 8 years ago. I have an increasing burning sensation in the perineum that has gotten quite bad. Any suggestions on what I can do to reduce this pain? Sitting makes it worse. Sitting on an ice bag helps temporarily. Thanks

This sounds incredibly uncomfortable and frustrating to deal with, especially after so many years. Post-surgical pain like this can have various causes, and it's definitely worth discussing with your healthcare team - they may be able to suggest pain management strategies, refer you to a specialist, or explore treatment options that could help. Many others in this community have faced similar challenges after prostate surgery, so hopefully some members will share what has worked for them in managing this type of discomfort.
