Has anyone with the SpaceOAR or their partner noticed a difference in sex?

It's supposed to dissolve over time.

in reply toTall_Allen

Yes, so during the time before it dissolves are there noticeable differences

You don't want to move it by being fucked during the time period you are having radiation. That will throw off your therapy.

Excellent info, thank you. I had not considered it could be moved, now I do.

Thanks Tall. What about getting fucked after LDR brachy? How soon can you do it and what if you have the spaceoar?

I'd wait 3 months until the needles are firmly set in place. Take it slow at first - if there is any pain, stop immediately.

You might feel the SpaceOAR lump until it dissolves.

Thanks! 3 months -- now that's abstinence! 😀 But yeah, better safe than sorry.

How about 8mo, have not had sex that long and waiting for ADT to wear off, maybe by April 22!
