Shooting pain in groin 3 yrs post prostate treatment

Hi , just a query here about a pain that i experience between my scrotum and rectal area, its not there all the time only occasionally. My question is could it be the side effects of the radio therapy i recieved over 3 yrs ago for prostate cancer.

  • Hello Dave and thanks for your post

    There are long term side effects that can occur months or years after having radiotherapy, and as you will see on the highlighted link it does mention the side effects you are currently experiencing.

    You mention your symptoms are not there all the time. But if they get worse or you are concerned we would suggest you discuss it will your doctor or specialist nurse (CNS) as they are familiar with all your medical details.

    Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene

  • Thank you ever so much Celene and i must apologise for not being very polite in my query, i got disturbed as i was writing it so eneded it quite abruptly. 

    I thought that it probably is a side effect ofthe treatment i recieved, which was fantastic i must say, your reply is reassuring and if it worsens then i will contact my gp, thank you again .

    Kind regards Dave
