Prostate surgery

Hi there. My partner has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has had the biopsy and was very uncomfortable sitting. What can I buy him to help when he has the surgery. 

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your partners diagnosis, this must be a difficult time for you both

    There are various types of pressure relieving cushions you can purchase if you search up on google, to take pressure off the perineum that can be affected after treatment to this area.

    Whilst these cushions can be helpful whilst sitting it is also important for the partner to mobilise and move around at regular intervals to aid the recovery process.

    We have a general section of information called After prostate cancer surgery you may wish to look at.

    I hope this helps but do get back if you have any more queries or questions, the nurses are also here weekdays 9-5 on the helpline number 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes to you both

    Naomi
